Films sounds great, though I never doubted Spielberg for a second.

I am loving the sounds of the reviews.

Social media tweets not reviews, which are almost the same thing, but not. There aren't any reviews yet.

Given the subject matter, I reckon The Futurist's not blabbering on nonsense at all.

 

Nope.

Nope, TF is trying to make a very important point, we're just not meant to really understand it.

Nope, he's trying to make a very serious "point", that we're all clearly missing. 

I guess I should have said twitter reviews since it is not an official reviews

Yes

If you thought SPOTLIGHT was too visually muted, buckle up for THE POST, a newsroom drama that Spielberg shoots like Robert Zemeckis on a coke bender

Also, whether I'm objective or not, I will say that what Meryl Streep does in this movie, building a narrative about her character with each line, move, and gesture, is, even by her standards, astounding.

Great reactions!!! SS is God.

THE BERGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG IS IN DA HOUSE!!!!!

I'm not in favour of freedom of the press, not murdochs kind of press freedom anyway.

[Ithil]

It feels like this will get the most nominations at the Oscars this year but not necessarily win that many. Kinda happens a lot with Spielberg frankly.

[straggler]

So members of the press are in ecstasy over a Hollywood love letter glorifying the press? LOL. Have to admit that is playing the Oscar game at a very high level. But I soured on Speilberg tremendously over the years. Bridge of Spies was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. He exaggerates and distorts history too often. The joke here is no degree of distortion or oversimplification will matter because it will alll play to the press's self-admiration, which in turn will rave about the film's brilliance and timeliness like the perfect circlejerk. But then again maybe Speilberg will surprise. Possibily.

Soooo nomination #895840373 for Streep and oscar #4?It's a good bet.It would be gret of probably the two greatest actors working right now (Hanks and Streep) would win in the same night,for the same movie no less.

It is too early. We need to see the actual reviews. But it is set up right, a film the celebrates Hollywood's and the press's importance. So could be.

And to think a couple posters here were claiming/spreading rumors earlier this fall that this film was getting mediocre reactions from early screenings.

 

 

Never doubt Da Berg.

Yup !

@AndyK freedom of the press means freedom even with those you disagree with. A common missing understanding amongst today' generation. (For what it is worth Murdoch's type of muckraking is nothing new.) 

[ShouldIBeHere]

This looks great.

 

Already hate how many times this will be called "Oscar-bait" over the next 3 months, though, regardless of its quality.

And after a point, it become almost trivial that an old filmmaker making movies for an old audience will appeal to old filmmaker voters, it will be almost out of nature not too.

THIS.

I despise Murdoch, but shutting him down is not the answer. It would be absoultrly a case of the cure being much worse then the disease.

And Murdoch is doing nothing that William Randolph Hearst did not do.

And where did this hatred of a free press come from?

[The Futurist]

Journalists = a dying species from a bygone era.

This movie will probably be their requiem.

Ah, the memories, cherish them forever.
