kevin c Movie night with Iris.Lovely old fashioned-film, about an old-fashioned medium. It's a gripping tale, with obvious modern allegory's. Who can't resist a Hold the Front page tale. Hanks and Streep (and Spielberg) all excellent. The feminist shot on the Supreme Court steps had me weeping.Makes you want to watch All The President's Men straight away afterwards (and buy a newspaper).

barberic-695-574135 This movie is very well done and well worth watching but it is slow and takes a while to get going so stick with it. Would we watch it again? Probably but it would need a dark cold night.

rtowner-210-758639 As an Englishman I don't blame my American cousins for wanting to expose evil and wrongdoing by former senior politicians. But this film actually made me feel a bit of sympathy for the past Presidents and their cronies who were being tried in their absence here. But my main feeling watching this film was boredom caused by the actors repeating the same sentiment relentlessly for around 90 minutes. And the lack of visual variety/ dull locations. It was all summed up for me in the scene when they all looked amazed when peering into a cardboard box. You'd think they were looking at the contents of Tutankhamen tomb when all that was visible was a stack of A4 paper. I usually like to watch films at least twice but once was more than enough with this one.

grulapaugh-85826 The "Goofs" section caught many of the films flaws. As a native of the DC area and former Washington Post carrier, I caught some more. The bundles of newspapers were way too small. The Post was a huge paper back then. It also bothers me that they didn't film at the real Post building.Regarding the Pentagon Papers, I wasn't too impressed at the time. I must have been taking my final exams at George Mason College at the time or on my way to California. It was only much later that I was aware of their importance.As to the acting, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks never let you down.
