A terrifying, morally outrageous story expertly told:
Malignant corporate practice secrets unfold …
Perpetrated by DuPont (giant, global).
Ruffalo: riveting in this crusade (noble)
RE: toxic products (unconscionably seeping & sold).

Price Hal’s the reluctant inheritor of dad’s grand dominion.
There’s enemies everywhere, and advisors with many an opinion.
As a new King conflicted and pivoting
Chalamet’s work here is riveting.
Stunning cinematography (and costume design: be it ruler or minion).

In McKay’s look at this VP who had powers unchecked,
It seems there’s no trust that the audience will connect
The dots themselves.
So it’s all over-spelled.
Trying hard to be clever. Comes out smug. No real attempt to reflect.

So the young candidate’s supporters and volunteers follow
Along for the race. Then Hart’s sprung. Cue to: him wallow
In self-righteous indignation.
Any filmic drama? No, stagnation.
… In this pedestrian offering with no grunt (just feels hollow).

But the film can’t be saved by the visuals (however gold)
Because it’s devoid of heart.
It’s detached from the start,
And the accompanying human story is so empty and cold.

A simplistically told tale of the presidency that began
With the demise of the second son from the Kennedy clan.
There’s drama in his fight for Southern backing.
But, sadly: overall, the film is lacking
Any real depth of insight into Lyndon the man.

Ellsberg knows secrets, and while employed at RAND
Wants hard truths exposed, and takes a brave stand.
Spielberg’s work had me riveted:
Tense, as outcomes pivoted
On Kay’s decision (a superb Streep) re: playing The Post’s hand.
