The Post (2017)

A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between the press and the government.

Professionally staged, although a bit old-fashioned,  historical drama with an excellent cast succeeds in its appeal for the necessity of a free press.

Nebraska (2013)

An aging, booze-addled father makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize.

Wonderful road movie thanks to paced, thoughtful direction, a splendid cast and some fantastic black-and-white photography.

Maltin***1/2: "Rich comedic portrait of taciturn Midwesterners..., featuring a gallery of wonderfully authentic faces... Dern and Forte anchor the film with their solid, credible performances. Beautifully shot in widescreen black & white..."
