‘The Post’ Review: Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks Unite to Save America
Best Picture…?
Hollywood’s two most revered superstars come together in Steven Spielberg’s rousing—if slightly corny—celebration of the free press and warning about our country’s Trumpian future.
It’s Meryl Streep’s superpower. Just a twitch of her eyebrow telegraphs a tectonic shift in emotion. Weathering the aftershocks of the emotional earthquake is Tom Hanks, with his reassuring mixture of anxiety, confidence, and passion, the reliable hero we need.
