The Post - movie

Given the times that we live in and Trump's attitude towards the press, The Post is an important movie. I saw it tonight and found it to be incredibly well done and very timely. Meryl Streep, in an Oscar worthy performance as Katherine Graham shows how Graham evolved over the course of the Pentagon Paper news story. You learn about both Graham and her family and their history with the Washington Post. People in the theater were clapping at the end.
