Darkest Hour and The Post look vaguely interesting
Will probably have to catch them on telly though as I can't persuade my better half that she wants to see either.

I thought The Post was guaranteed to be great with Spielberg, Hanks and Streep.
It was extremely disappointing. Dull and unengaging. People walked out of the screening I was at.

That was what I feared
The last Spielberg film I watched was Bridge of Spies, which felt strangely flat. As if there was the makings of a good story hidden somewhere in the script, but one that the director didn't quite know how to tell. His attempting to make something that will naturally invite comparison to Spotlight was an interesting move.
I have a bit of a problem with Tom Hanks too. The last film of his that I saw where he wasn't playing "Tom Hanks starring as ..." was probably Apollo 13.
That said, I could happily spend two hours watching Streep reading from the RS Catalogue, so will probably try to catch it at some point.

I don't lthink the Spotlight comparison works for several reasons. Who's making that comparison?

That’s only having seen the trailer though.
