_The Post_ operates at full throttle regarding elements that tend to attract Oscar attention, and its focus is primarily on the details of what transpired rather than offering a deep understanding of the individuals caught up in those events. While there are moments intended to elicit amusement, it’s certainly not comedic material. It emphasizes “what” occurred without delving into “why,” yet the film’s structure hinges on this significant suspense surrounding potential revelations ("Will Nixon and LBJ be exposed?"), which drives the entire 108-minute duration—but we already know what's going to happen. The events depicted in _The Post_ are based on actual occurrences that are widely known, so it feels as though the resolution of the ethical dilemma is presented before the viewing even begins. Considering the current climate surrounding journalism and politics in America, I believe this film arrived at a relevant time, and with such a talented ensemble cast, no one’s performance can be criticized. However, does _The Post_ warrant the awards recognition it has received? In my opinion, it doesn't. _Final rating:★★½ - It didn't quite resonate with me, though I understand why others might find it appealing._
