The Post - 2017 - 6/10

Beleaguered Washington Post receives leftovers of classified Pentagon Papers after the powerful New York Times is stifled.

Scoring this old-fashioned yarn generously.

That film was of its time and relevant. This feels dated, the story and the telling.
This history lesson is over earnest, sentimental and corny.

Steep is fine, though her character seems mousy and mannered.
Newspapers once meant something.
Watch Five Star Final (1933) instead, or Deadline USA (1952).
