Movie Review: Spielberg Creates Another Classic With Timely "The Post"

The Post Starring Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, Bruce Greenwood, Carrie Coon, Alison Bire, David Cross Written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer Directed by Steven Spielberg Out of Four Reviewed by Paul Gibbs I don't write for a Spielberg related site because i don't like his films, so it's no surprise for me to give his latest award-winning drama a rave. However, even coming from my favorite director, The Post is something special. Remarkably timely and yet also timeless, this is one of the best of Spielberg's new wave of actor/character related films, and it's my choice as the best and most important film of 2017. The superb ensemble cast is justifiably getting most of the accolades, but it's a mistake to think in any way that this isn't a director's film. Spielberg's gifts for pacing and storytelling fluidity have rarely been better used. Meryl Streep as Kay Graham. (Image Courtesy 20th Century F
