Katie D Mar 15, 2021 better than I expected! Great acting by all, including some surprising faces I didn't realize were in the movie until I saw them! I actually noticed the wonderful cinematography and score, which was pretty cool! The costumes, props and scenery were perfect to set the scene for the time period and I loved seeing (and learning about!) the historical references! Interesting, entertaining and I enjoyed it more than I expected to! See more

Eric H @EVHmovieman 3 days ago This film made me nostalgic about old school print journalism. It's well shot and gripping if you like historical movies. Great acting is no surprise, considering the cast. Set in 1971, it offers a clue to an industry that was dying a slow death. See more

Henry D @Henry_Domke Oct 3, 2026 A great film that has improved with the passage of time. Spielberg keeps a talk-heavy story moving beautifully, and Meryl Streep is especially good as Katharine Graham. The entire production is first class, with terrific period detail in the newsroom and printing press, and especially strong cinematography and editing that keep everything moving. John Williams’s score is perfectly supportive without calling attention to itself, as he sometimes does. A very satisfying grown-up drama. See more

Chris B @Papa13070 Aug 12, 2026 It's not just the fascinating true story behind this quintessential battle for freedom of the press - coupled to freedom for women - that makes this movie outstanding. Nor is it the knockout performances of Streep, Hanks and frankly most of the other actors. Not even the message that references the governments of this era and all their wrongdoings is what really struck me. Most of all it is Spielberg his directing in ultima forma that gave me the greatest thrill. Long yet exciting shots and sequences, a perfect atmosphere of the times and super simple scenes that he directed to become almost thriller-like suspenseful... even when we already know the outcome! Yes, it has some flaws, such as the Spielberg-sugar at the end. Sure. But ultimately, this is a masterpiece. See more

Stephen C @bob25009 Apr 30, 2026 Rated PG-13 for Language and Brief War Violence. The worldwide gross is $193,764,664.00 over a budget of $50,000,000.00. More than triple the production budget. See more

Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Jan 30, 2026 Press vs Government tension walks a razor-thin line packed with high stakes. Tension peaks perfectly! See more
