A new clip from The Post was released today, showing a brief interaction between Meryl's character Kay Graham and her editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks):
Just the few seconds before they walk into the room shows some wonderful production design. We don't really get a ton from the acting in this scene, but can see Graham's trepidation about what her role may be if the Pentagon Papers become accessible to the Washington Post.
Two days after formal reviews were allowed online, the film stands at 85% on Rotten Tomatoes with 60 reviews counted thus far.
The Post was named # 1 movie of 2017 and Meryl Streep included in the Top 10 Movie Performances of 2017 by Stephanie Zacharek of TIME magazine ! AMAZING !!!
ReplyDeletePossibly the biggest thing going for this film is its "timeliness," a description that awards pundits are beating to death, but is nonetheless incredibly apropos. Meryl is good standing to do very well with major televised awards. Looks good for box office potential as well.
