The Post*** (12A)
(Odeon Colchester)         

(US 2017)           

The establishment-oriented owner of The Washington Post and her chief editor risk the newspaper's future to publish the Pentagon papers detailing America's continued failed participation in the Vietnam War.                                       
Rivetingly played Spielberg political thriller, back to his best form since Schindler's List. Despite his characteristic sentimental touches and irritatingly frequent hand-held camera work, it stands up a worthy companion piece to All the President's Men(qv).
