Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Its obsession with movie history minus tired romanticism makes it strangely enchanting. Rated: 5/5 Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Tim Robey Monocle As an example of the screenwriting art, this film itself is pretty great. Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Keith Uhlich (All (Parentheses)) Mank is a love letter and a poison pen, though like much of its meticulous director's output, this film (that's not a film, though it's often made to look like one) is weighed down by the burden of time. Dec 31, 2020 Full Review Ryan McQuade InSession Film Is it his most accessible film to date? No, but who cares? We got a new Fincher movie in 2020 and it was very much a Fincher movie. Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Ben Flanagan Vague Visages Given the vastness of Hollywood itself to fool around in, Fincher is aimless. He needs to hole himself up somewhere and get back to work. Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Greg Carlson Vague Visages Mank probably spends more time than necessary defining the protagonist's own crisis of conscience within a corrupt and decaying dream factory.

Linda B difficult to follow plot -- but I liked the actress that played Marion Davis Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/21 Full Review Theodore Good film, great acting, I liked the production and filming it like an old time movie, it worked for me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/21 Full Review Rich V Dialogue was not clear. Story line jumped around. Boring lost interest walked out Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/21 Full Review Artnut Terribly difficult to follow...exaggerated film noir style made it difficult to view...overall obscure and dense..would not recommend for any audience. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/09/21 Full Review JJ Cinematography is mind-blowing. If you are into this era of movies it is a must-watch. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/21 Full Review Joe Overall liked the movie and glad I saw it. There was more jumping back and forth with flashbacks than I care for, but inserting the dates helped (but didnt entirely eliminate) confusion. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/21 Full Review Read all reviews
