Center
Primary
The film's left-leaning rating stems from its central thesis championing a free and independent press as an essential check on government power and deception, aligning with progressive values of accountability and transparency.
The movie features historically accurate casting without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on the fight for press freedom and a woman's leadership in a male-dominated industry, but it does not critically portray traditional identities or make explicit DEI critiques central to its themes.
Secondary
The Post is a historical drama centered on freedom of the press and political events. It does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or plotlines, resulting in no depiction of queer identity within its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Post is a historical drama depicting real-life figures involved in the Pentagon Papers scandal. All major characters, including Katharine Graham and Ben Bradlee, are portrayed by actors matching the historical gender of their real-world counterparts.
The film is a historical drama depicting real-life figures involved in the Pentagon Papers scandal. All major historical characters are portrayed by actors of the same race as their real-world counterparts, with no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as another.
