Set in the early 1970s , The Post depicts the true story of attempts by journalists at The Washington Post to publish the Pentagon Papers , classified documents regarding the 30 - year involvement of the United States government in the Vietnam War . Principal photography began in New York City in May 2017 . The film premiered at the Newseum in Washington , D.C. on December 14 , 2017 and began a limited release in the United States on December 22 , 2017 .

The film was nominated for Best Picture and Best Actress ( for Streep ) at the 90th Academy Awards , and also received six nominations at the 75th Golden Globe Awards : Best Motion Picture -- Drama , Best Director , Best Actress -- Drama ( for Streep ) , Best Actor -- Drama ( for Hanks ) , Best Screenplay and Best Original Score .

On the return flight home , McNamara expresses to Ellsberg and William Macomber his view that the war in Vietnam is hopeless , yet , upon landing , McNamara expresses to the press his confidence in the war effort . Ellsberg overhears this and becomes disillusioned . Years later , now working for the RAND Corporation , a civilian military contractor , Ellsberg surreptitiously photocopies classified reports documenting the country 's decades - long involvement in the conflict in Vietnam , dating back to the Truman administration . Ellsberg then leaks these documents to reporters at The New York Times and the movie follows two weeks in 1971 at the The Washington Post and the publishing of the Pentagon Papers . Newspaper heiress Katharine Graham tries to balance her social life with her responsibility as owner and publisher of The Washington Post , following the deaths of her husband , and her father . She is troubled over preparations for the newspaper 's stock market launch , a move she recognizes as important for strengthening the paper 's economic stability . Graham lacks experience and is frequently overruled by more assertive men who advise or work for her , such as editor - in - chief Ben Bradlee , and board member Arthur Parsons . Bradlee tries in vain to match The New York Times 's ability to get scoops . Meanwhile , McNamara , Graham 's longtime friend , confides in her that he is to be the subject of unflattering coverage by the Times . The story turns out to be an exposé of the government 's long - running deception of the American public . However , the series is halted by a court injunction against further publication by the Times . Post assistant editor Ben Bagdikian tracks down Ellsberg as the source for the leak , who provides Bagdikian with copies of the same material given to the Times . A hand - picked team of Post reporters sorts through the piles of papers , searching for the headline stories . The lawyers for the Post advise against publishing the material , lest the Nixon administration bring criminal charges against them . Graham talks to McNamara , Bradlee , and trusted Post chairman Fritz Beebe , agonizing over the decision of whether to publish . The situation is made even more complicated when the Post 's lawyers discover that Bagdikian 's source is the same as the Times 's , possibly putting Graham in contempt of court . If charges are brought against the company , Graham could destroy the newspaper she sees as a family legacy . Alternately , if she were to win any legal challenge , the Post could instead establish itself as an important journalistic institution . She chooses to run the story . The White House retaliates , and in short order the Post and Times appear together before the Supreme Court to plead their First Amendment argument for the right to publish the material . Meanwhile , newspapers across the country pick up the story in solidarity with the Post and Times . The court rules 6 -- 3 in the newspapers ' favor , vindicating Graham 's decision . Nixon demands that the Post should be barred from the White House . One year later , security guard Frank Wills discovers a break - in in progress at the Watergate complex after a guest at the Watergate hotel called complaining about people using flashlights .

Greenfield James Riordan as Vice Admiral Joseph Francis Blouin Kelly AuCoin as Assistant Attorney General Maroney Cotter Smith as William Macomber Jennifer Dundas as Liz Hylton Production ( edit ) In October 2016 , Amy Pascal won a bid for the rights to the screenplay The Post , written by Liz Hannah . In February 2017 , Steven Spielberg had halted pre-production on The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara after a casting setback , and consequently opened his schedule to other potential films to direct . The following month , it was announced that Spielberg was in negotiations to direct and produce the film , with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in talks for the roles of Katharine Graham and Ben Bradlee , respectively . The Post is the first time that Spielberg , Streep , and Hanks had all worked together on a film . Spielberg read the screenplay and decided to direct the film as soon as possible , citing that `` when I read the first draft of the script , this was n't something that could wait three years or two years -- this was a story I felt we needed to tell today . '' Spielberg worked on The Post while post-production work continued on the visual - effects - heavy Ready Player One , a situation familiar to him from concurrently producing , in the early 1990s , Jurassic Park and Schindler 's List . Josh Singer was hired to re-write the screenplay ten weeks before filming . As filming commenced , a number of New York Times figures who were associated with the Pentagon Papers case -- among them James Greenfield , James Goodale , Allan Siegal , and Max Frankel -- objected to the film 's production due to the script 's lack of emphasis on the Times ' role in breaking the story . Goodale , who was at the time the Times 's in - house counsel , later called the film `` a good movie but bad history . '' Filming ( edit ) The film began principal photography in New York on May 30 , 2017 . On June 6 , 2017 , it was announced that the project , retitled The Papers , would also star Alison Brie , Carrie Coon , David Cross , Bruce Greenwood , Tracy Letts , Bob Odenkirk , Sarah Paulson , Jesse Plemons , Matthew Rhys , Michael Stuhlbarg , Bradley Whitford , and Zach Woods . On August 25 , 2017 , the film 's title reverted to The Post . Spielberg finished the final cut of the film on November 6 , 2017 , with the final sound mix also completed along with the musical score a week later , on November 13 . Costume design ( edit ) Writing for The New York Times , Manogla Dargis indicated some high points in the costume design used in the film stating , `` The costume designer Ann Roth subtly brightens Katharine , taking her from leaden gray to free - flowing gold . '' . Music ( edit ) When Steven first approached me about ( The Post ) , we talked about Kay Graham and Ben Bradlee and what opportunities the film might present for me . When I 've thought about it , I 've never been in a newsroom -- you know , with the clattering of a thousand typewriters in those days ... Now no one 's using them , it 's all silent . But it must have been quite a noisy environment , really -- everyone running back and forth . So I thought , `` Well , how are you gon na get any music in a newsroom ? '' -- John Williams on composing the score The score for the film was written by John Williams ; it is his 28th collaboration with Spielberg . The music is a combination of traditional orchestral instrumentation and what Williams has called `` very light , computerised electronic effects . '' Williams was originally attached to write the music for Spielberg 's Ready Player One , but , because both films had similar post-production schedules , Williams chose to work on The Post , while Alan Silvestri composed for Ready Player One . Spielberg has said that The Post was a rare instance in which he went to the recording sessions `` having not heard a note '' in advance . Recording began on October 30 , 2017 in Los Angeles . The soundtrack was released digitally by Sony Classical Records on December 22 , 2017 and in physical form on January 12 , 2018 .

Home Media ( edit ) The Post was released on Digital HD on April 3 and on Blu - ray / DVD April 17 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) As of April 15 , 2018 , The Post has grossed $81.8 million in the United States and Canada , and $92.6 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $174.4 million , against a production budget of $50 million . During The Post 's limited opening weekend , December 22 to 24 , it grossed $526,011 ( and a total of $762,057 over the four - day Christmas weekend ) from nine theaters . The following weekend , the film grossed $561,080 for a per - theater average of $62,342 , one of the highest of 2017 . The film had its wide release alongside the openings of The Commuter , Paddington 2 and Proud Mary , and was projected to gross around $20 million from 2,819 theaters over the weekend . It made $5.9 million on its first day and $18.6 million over the weekend ( and a four - day MLK weekend total of $23.4 million ) , finishing second at the box office behind holdover Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle. 66 % of its opening weekend audience was over the age of 35 . It dropped 37 % the following weekend to $12.2 million , finishing 4th behind Jumanji and newcomers 12 Strong and Den of Thieves . It dropped to 5th in its third week of wide release , grossing $8.9 million . Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 88 % based on 321 reviews , with an average rating of 7.9 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` The Post 's period setting belies its bitingly timely themes , brought compellingly to life by director Steven Spielberg and an outstanding ensemble cast . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 83 out of 100 , based on 51 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while PostTrak reported 63 % of audience members gave the film a `` definite recommend '' . Alonso Duralde of TheWrap praised the acting and Spielberg 's direction , though noted the script as being too on - the - nose at times , saying , `` The Post passes the trickiest tests of a historical drama : It makes us understand that decisions that have been validated by the lens of history were difficult ones to make in the moment , and it generates suspense over how all the pieces fell into place to make those decisions come to fruition . '' David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film an A -- and wrote : `` Nobody needs to be reminded that history tends to go in circles , but The Post is so vital because it captures the ecstasy of trying to break the chain and bend things towards justice ; defending the fundamental tenets of the Constitution has n't been this much fun since Hamilton . '' Chris Nashawaty , writing for Entertainment Weekly , gave the film a positive review , but also compared it with previous journalism films such as All the President 's Men and stating : `` Spielberg makes these crucial days in American history easy to follow . But if you look at The Post next to something like All the President 's Men , you see the difference between having a story passively explained to you and actively helping to untangle it . That 's a small quibble with an urgent and impeccably acted film . But it 's also the difference between a very good movie and a great one . '' Manohla Dargis of The New York Times awarded the film an NYT Critic 's Pick with a strong acknowledgment of Spielberg as director stating , `` Mostly , ( the Post decision to publish ) went down fast , a pace that Mr. Spielberg conveys with accelerated rhythms , flying feet , racing cameras and an enjoyably loose approach to the material . With his virtuosic , veteran crew , Mr. Spielberg paints the scene vividly and with daubs of beauty ; most notably , he creates distinct visual realms for the story 's two main overlapping , at times colliding worlds . Katharine reigns over one ; at first she 's all but entombed in her darkly lighted , wood - paneled empire . Ben rules the other , overseeing the talking and typing warriors of the glaring , noisily freewheeling newsroom '' . Matt Bobkin , writing for Exclaim ! , gave the film a 6 out of 10 score , saying the film `` has all the makings of an awards season hit , but is too calculated to reflect today 's ragged , tenuous sociopolitical climate . '' Portrayal of the New York Times ( edit ) The film downplays the role that journalists from The New York Times had in the leak of the Pentagon Papers and emphasizes The Washington Post 's involvement . In an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review , former New York Times associates James Greenfield , who coordinated the Pentagon Papers project as the Times ' foreign editor ; James Goodale , the Times ' general counsel at the time ; and Max Frankel , the Times ' Washington bureau chief when the Papers were published , criticized the film 's more minor portrayal of the paper . The New York Times had not only published the Pentagon Papers before The Washington Post , but had also set the stage for the major legal battle between the press and the United States government . The newspaper also won the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for its contributions . The 1972 Pulitzer jury of journalists noted in their recommendation not only the significance of Daniel Ellsberg 's Pentagon Papers leak , but also that of Times reporters Neil Sheehan , Hedrick Smith , Fox Butterfield and E.W. Kenworthy , and stated that their effort was `` a combination of investigative reporting , analysis , research , and writing -- all of which added to a distinctly meritorious public service , not only for readers of The Times but also for an entire nation . '' Goodale noted in an article for The Daily Beast that the Times published the Papers after Ellsberg had leaked them to Sheehan , and further stated that the film `` creates a false impression that the Post was a major player in such publication . It 's as though Hollywood had made a movie about the Times ' triumphant role in Watergate . '' On PBS NewsHour , Goodale further said , `` Although a producer has artistic license , I think it should be limited in a situation such as this , so that the public comes away with an understanding of what the true facts are in this case ... And I think that if you 're doing a movie now , when ( President Donald ) Trump is picking on the press for ' fake news ' , you want to be authentic . You do n't want to be in any way fake .

As he is doing so , he has brief flashbacks of his childhood . After the death of his mother , who committed suicide , an adolescent Zack was sent to live with his only living relative , his father Byron Mayo , who is stationed in US Naval Base Subic Bay in the Philippines . The elder Mayo , a Navy Chief Petty Officer / Chief Boatswain 's Mate , made no attempt to hide his heavy drinking and hiring of prostitutes from a young Zack . When Zack said he needed help , Byron said he did not ask to get married nor be a father , because he is always out on sea all the time . But seeing the look on his face , he decides to let him stay with him . Mostly Zack became a Navy brat and travelled with his father . The flashbacks advance to the present , where Zack has just graduated from college and informs his father he will be going to AOCS . Byron , who hates officers , tells Zack that his dream of becoming an officer is as unrealistic as hoping to become President . Despite his father 's discouragement , Zack is determined to go through with his childhood dreams of becoming a Navy pilot as well as prove to him that he can make it and in the end Byron would have to `` salute '' Zack . Upon arrival at AOCS , Zack and his fellow AOCs are shocked by the harsh treatment they receive from their head drill instructor , Marine Gunnery Sergeant , Emil Foley . Foley makes it clear that the 13 - week program is designed to eliminate OCs who are found to be mentally or physically unfit for commission as an ensign in the U.S. Navy , which will earn them flight training worth over $1,000,000 . Foley warns the male candidates about the `` Puget Sound Debs '' -- young women in the area who dream of marrying a Naval Aviator to escape their dull , local lives . Foley claims they scout the regiment for OCs , and will feign pregnancy or even stop using birth control to become pregnant to trap the men . Zack becomes friends with fellow candidates Topper Daniels , Sid Worley , Emiliano Santos Della Serra , Lionel Perryman , and Casey Seeger . Zack and Sid meet two local young women -- factory workers -- at a Navy Ball . Zack begins a romantic relationship with Paula Pokrifki , and Sid with Lynette Pomeroy . Meanwhile , Daniels drops out of the program after he almost drowns in the dunker crash - escape exercise . Foley rides Zack mercilessly , believing he lacks motivation and is not a team player , though Foley also sees potential in Zack . When Zack 's side business of selling pre-shined shoes and belt buckles is discovered , Foley hazes him for a weekend in an attempt to make him DOR , `` Drop on Request '' , a Navy term for requesting termination of training , but Zack refuses . Foley states Zack will be declared unfit , which frightens Zack into admitting he has no options in civilian life . Satisfied that Zack has come to a crucial self - realization and realizing what he 's made of , Foley decides to let him stay . He punishes Zack by making him clean all the urinals , but does not recommend attrition . Henceforth , Zack starts behaving like a team player . Zack and Paula spend the next weekend together , and she takes him home for dinner to meet her family . Her stepfather behaves strangely , and when Zack asks why , Paula shows him an old picture of her biological father . He was an AOC who had an affair with her mother but deserted her following his commissioning and refused to marry her when she became pregnant with Paula . Zack is close to breaking the record time for negotiating the obstacle course , but Casey faces disqualification when she can not negotiate the 12 - foot - high wall ( 3.7 m ) . Zack abandons his attempt to break the course record in order to coach Casey over the wall , and she makes it . Zack attends dinner with Sid and his parents and learns that Sid has a long - time girlfriend back home . Sid plans to marry her after he receives his commission . Meanwhile , Lynette has been dropping hints to Sid that she may be pregnant . Sid agonizes over this possibility , especially when Lynette tells him she will not have an abortion . After having a severe anxiety attack during a high - altitude simulation in a pressure chamber , Sid realizes he joined the officer training program out of a sense of obligation to his family , especially to the older brother who died as a Naval officer , and he Drops On Request , `` DOR '' s meaning he voluntarily resigns . He leaves the base without saying goodbye , so Zack and Paula go out to look for him . Sid goes to Lynette 's house and proposes marriage . She is elated until he tells her he DORed , and she would not be marrying a Naval Aviator after all . Disgusted , Lynette turns him down and admits she was never pregnant with his child . She says she thought he understood she wants to marry an aviator , escape from her small town , and live an exciting life overseas with the status of an aviator 's wife . She berates him for dropping out and gives back the engagement ring he bought her . Crushed , Sid goes to the motel where he and Lynette spent his free weekends , asks for their old room , and begins drinking . Zack and Paula arrive at Lynette 's shortly after Sid leaves , and ask about Sid 's whereabouts . Zack curses Lynette for trying to trick Sid , and he and Paula rush off to search for him . Zack goes to the motel and is heartbroken when he finds Sid has committed suicide out of grief . Paula tries to comfort Zack , admitting she loved him from day one and her guilt over failing to stop Lynette 's scheme , but he rejects her and heads back to base with the intent to DOR himself . Foley will not let him quit so close to graduation and feels bad about what happened to Sid . Zack challenges Foley to an unofficial martial arts bout . Although Zack eventually appears to take control of the fight , Foley wins by kicking Zack in the groin and then tells him he can quit now if he still wishes to do so . Zack shows up for graduation and is sworn into the Navy with his class . Following naval tradition , he receives his first salute from Foley in exchange for a US silver dollar . While tradition calls for the drill instructor to place the coin in his left shirt pocket , Foley places the coin in his right pocket , acknowledging that Zack was a special candidate . Zack thanks him for not giving up on him and tells him he would never have made it without the hardships Foley delivered . While leaving the base , he sees Foley initiating a set of new AOCs who are in the same position he was 13 weeks prior . Zack , now Ensign Mayo with orders to undertake flight training , seeks out Paula at the factory where she works and declares his love to her . He picks her up and walks out with her in his arms to the applause of her co-workers , including a still - dismayed Lynette .

( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The film was shot in late 1981 on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington , at Port Townsend and Fort Worden . The U.S. Navy did not permit filming at NAS Pensacola in the Florida panhandle , the site of the actual Aviation Officer Candidate School in 1981 . Deactivated U.S. Army base Fort Worden stood in for the location of the school , an actual Naval Air Station in the Puget Sound area , NAS Whidbey Island . However , that installation , which is still an operating air station today , was and is a `` fleet '' base for operational combat aircraft and squadrons under the cognizance of Naval Air Force Pacific , not a Naval Air Training Command installation . A motel room in Port Townsend , The Tides Inn on Water Street ( 48 ° 06 ′ 38 '' N 122 ° 45 ′ 54 '' W  /  48.1105 ° N 122.765 ° W  / 48.1105 ; - 122.765 ) , was used for the film . Today , there is a plaque outside the room commemorating this ( although the room has been extensively refurbished in the interim ) . Some early scenes of the movie were filmed in Bremerton , with ships of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in the background . The `` Dilbert Dunker '' scenes were filmed in the swimming pool at what is now Mountain View Elementary School ( Port Townsend Jr High School during filming ) . According to the director 's commentary on the DVD , the dunking machine was constructed specifically for the film and was an exact duplicate of the actual one used by the Navy . As of 2010 , Mountain View Elementary is closed and is now home to the Mountain View Commons , which holds the police station , food bank and the YMCA , the latter of which holds the pool . The filming location of Paula Pokrifiki 's house was 1003 Tremont in Port Townsend . As of 2009 , the house was shrouded by a large hedge , and the front porch had been remodeled . The neighboring homes and landscape look identical to their appearance in the film , including the ' crooked oak tree ' across the street from the Pokrifiki home . This oak tree is visible in the scene near the end of the film in which Richard Gere returns to the home to request Paula 's help in finding his friend Sid . In the film , the plot has Paula living a ferry ride away from the naval base . In reality , Paula 's home is located approximately 8 blocks from Fort Worden . Lynette Pomeroy 's house was located on Mill Road , just west of the main entrance of the Port Townsend Paper Corp. mill . The house no longer exists , but the concrete driveway pad is still visible . The interior of the USO building at Fort Worden State Park was used for the reception scene near the beginning of the film . Battery Kinzie , scene of `` I got nowhere else to go ! '' The concrete structure used during the famous Richard Gere line `` I got nowhere else to go ! '' is the Battery Kinzie located at Fort Worden State Park . The scene was filmed on the southwest corner of the upper level of the battery . The ' obstacle course ' was constructed specifically for the film and was located in the grassy areas just south and southeast of Battery Kinzie . The decompression chamber was one of the only sets constructed for the film and as of 2013 , it is still intact in the basement of building number 225 of the Fort Worden State Park . It can be seen through the windows of the building 's basement . Building 204 of Fort Worden State Park was used as the dormitory and its porch was used for the film 's closing ' silver dollar ' scene . The blimp hangar used for the famous fight scene between Louis Gossett Jr. and Richard Gere is located at Fort Worden State Park and as of 2013 is still intact , but has been converted into a 1200 - seat performing arts center called the McCurdy Pavilion . The filming location for the exterior of ' TJ 's Restaurant ' is located at the Point Hudson marina in Port Townsend . The space is now occupied by a company that makes sails . The fictional `` TJ 's '' is an homage to the Trader Jon 's bar in Pensacola , Florida , as a naval aviator hangout until it closed later in November 2003 . For years , it was traditional for graduating Aviation Officer Candidate School classes to celebrate their commissioning at `` Trader 's . '' Casting ( edit ) Originally , folk music singer and occasional actor John Denver was signed to play Zack Mayo . But a casting process eventually involved Jeff Bridges , Christopher Reeve , and Richard Gere . Gere eventually beat all the other actors for the part . John Travolta had turned down the role , as he did with American Gigolo ( another Richard Gere hit ) . The role of Paula was originally given to Sigourney Weaver , then to Anjelica Huston and later to Jennifer Jason Leigh , who dropped out to do the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High instead . Eventually , Debra Winger replaced Leigh for the role of Paula . Rebecca De Mornay , Meg Ryan , and Geena Davis auditioned for the role of Paula . In spite of the strong on - screen chemistry between Gere and Winger , the actors did n't get along during filming . Publicly , she called him a `` brick wall '' while he admitted there was `` tension '' between them . Thirty years later , Gere was complimentary towards Winger when he said that she was much more open to the camera than he was , and he appreciated the fact that she presented him with an award at the Rome Film Festival . Taylor Hackford kept Louis Gossett Jr. in separate living quarters from other actors during production ; so , Gossett could intimidate them more during his scenes as drill instructor . In addition , Gossett was advised by US Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Buck Welscher . Props ( edit ) Richard Gere rides a 750cc T140E Triumph Bonneville . Two T140E Bonnevilles were supplied by Dewey 's Cycle Shop in Seattle . One had Receipt no. 16787 dated April 8 , 1981 , as sold to Paramount Pictures . In the United Kingdom , Paramount successfully linked with Triumph Motorcycles ( Meriden ) Ltd to do a mutual promotion . Triumph 's then - chairman , John Rosamond , in his book Save The Triumph Bonneville ! ( Veloce 2009 ) , states it was agreed cinemas showing the film would be promoted at their local Triumph dealer , and T140E Triumph Bonnevilles supplied by the dealer would be displayed in the cinema 's foyers . Ending ( edit ) Richard Gere balked at shooting the ending of the film , in which Zack arrives at Paula 's factory wearing his naval dress whites and carries her off the factory floor . Gere thought the ending would not work because it was too sentimental . Director Taylor Hackford agreed with Gere until , during a rehearsal , the extras playing the workers began to cheer and cry . When Gere saw the scene later , with a portion of the score ( that was used to write `` Up Where We Belong '' ) played at the right tempo , he said it gave him chills . Gere is now convinced Hackford made the right decision . Screenwriter Michael Hauge , in his book Writing Screenplays That Sell , echoed this opinion : `` I do n't believe that those who criticized this Cinderella - style ending were paying very close attention to who exactly is rescuing whom . '' Release ( edit ) Two versions of the film exist . The original , an uncensored R - rated cut and edited - for - broadcast television cut ( which first aired on NBC in 1986 ) are nearly identical . The main difference is that the nudity and a majority of the foul language are edited out when the film airs on regular television . However , the group marching song near the beginning of the film and Mayo 's solo marching song are not voiceover edits ; they are reshoots of those scenes for television . Also , the sex scene between Mayo and Paula is cut in half , and the scene where Mayo finds Sid 's naked body hanging in the shower is also edited . Reaction ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) An Officer and a Gentleman was an enormous box office success and went on to become the third - highest - grossing film of 1982 , after E.T. : The Extra Terrestrial and Tootsie . It grossed $3,304,679 in its opening weekend and $129,795,554 overall at the domestic box office . It sold an estimated 44 million tickets in the US .

It received rave reviews from critics , most notably from Roger Ebert , who gave it four stars . Ebert described An Officer and a Gentleman as `` a wonderful movie precisely because it 's so willing to deal with matters of the heart ... it takes chances , takes the time to know and develop its characters , and by the time this movie 's wonderful last scene comes along , we know exactly what 's happening , and why , and it makes us very happy . '' Rex Reed gave a glowing review where he commented : `` This movie will make you feel ten feet tall ! '' The British film critic Mark Kermode , an admirer of Taylor Hackford observed , `` It 's a much tougher film than people remember it being ; it 's not a romantic movie , it 's actually a movie about blue - collar , down - trodden people .
