Great movie. Besides being very well done and a window to an important time in history, it had such a great message about the difference between a press that serves our leaders versus one that acts as a check on their power. I really recommend everyone see this movie.

I saw it this weekend and enjoyed it too. Streep and Hanks together on the screen were great.  |

This is going to sound silly, but It’s cool to think how far Tom Hanks has come sincerely his Bosom Buddies days.

I want to see this movie too and considering taking my son. Do you think it would be interesting for a 14 year old?

We loved it and it is so relevant to what’s going on currently. I particularly loved the parallel between Nixon’s relationship with the Washington Post and the current one between Trump and the Post.

I saw it yesterday it was so good!!
There were times I really wanted to cheer and clap out loud.
It's not really a thing to do in Canadian theatres I've found. I have witnessed it a few times in the USA though.
As well as the press/government story I also thought the underlying women coming to the forefront was the times we're in right now!
I love movies directed by SS he has such a fantastic eye for cinematography and story telling!

Loved it! Our small audience of 8 (!) did clap and cheer several times! I absolute loved the closing shot of the Watergate break in. The previous night I watched All the President’s Men, and the closing shot was PRECISELY the beginning of ATPM.

Saw it Saturday and it was awesome! There were several very powerful scenes. It momentarily restored my faith in the first amendment.  |

It was very good and our audience clapped at the end including my teenager. Relevant to today as well. I enjoyed watching Katherine Graham evolve.

Definitely one we want to see.
We also purchased on Amazon Prime the movie "Mark Felt" and have watched "All the President's Men" more times than I can count.

Adding my voice to the crowd. I enjoyed it so much. I'm glad I had watched the Vietnam War Ken Burns documentary. That was a helpful reference for me since I wasn't born until '77.
The cast and acting were brilliant.
My Mom and I left the theater both saying we looked forward to watching it again.
