The Post (2017)
IMDb plot summary: A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between the press and the government.
Directed by Steven Spielberg. Starring Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah Paulson, and Bob Odenkirk.
A very good story but an awkward script that spends most of its time reiterating the same points over and over again and doesn't build much tension the way I usually expect from Spielberg's dramas. Decent, but better in concept than in execution.
2.5 stars.
How it entered my Flickchart:
The Post > Pulp Fiction
The Post < Manchester by the Sea
The Post < Blade
The Post < Mother!
The Post > Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam
The Post < The Switch

Final spot: #1288 out of 2801.
