"Washington Post" is not bound by its heavy themes, and it is not at all the stereotyped historical film in the impression. Kaminsky's use of colors is magnificent and soft, giving the film a touch of nostalgia, but it doesn't make people feel distant. Williams' dexterous soundtrack makes people's heart beat faster and gives the real story an electric thrill .
Even though the purpose of the film is lofty, its extremely fast pace and extremely high entertainment make the audience totally unable to feel that kind of preaching.
"Washington Post" is a rare film in Hollywood, which integrates Spartan-style strong and important journalism into an Indiana Jones-style adventure story full of suspense. It was not designed to cater to the market, but was born out of filmmakers’ worries about the current social and news crisis., "IndieWire")
