 The tribute to African culture is instead embarrassingly superficial.

This review critiques Black Panther for its superficial handling of deep political and racial themes. While it praises some female characters and performances, it finds the protagonist uncharismatic and the story overly simplistic.

 Spielberg is a sure bet. But in this case, it’s more necessary than ever to distinguish between a great true story and a film adaptation that cannot be called great.

 A film of this type lacks real incisiveness, it is pure hagiography of those 'great journalists who had the courage to...'

Steven Spielberg's The Post is a solid and well-performed film that explores freedom of the press through the Washington Post story. However, it falls short of greatness due to a too didactic approach and overly simplistic character portrayals, especially the villainization of Nixon. The film lacks the nuance and complexity seen in similar journalism dramas like Spotlight. Despite this, it offers a meaningful tribute to journalism's challenges and courage. Discover the strengths and flaws of Spielberg’s The Post – read the full review and decide if it’s the journalism drama for you!
