Critics Consensus

Sharply written and brilliantly performed, Mank peers behind the scenes of Citizen Kane to tell an old Hollywood story that could end up being a classic in its own right.

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.

As an example of the screenwriting art, this film itself is pretty great.

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.

Irish Times

Not unlike watching Oliver Stone's JFK. It's spectacular! It's a tour du force! It's counterfactual nonsense!

Rated: 4/5

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.

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.

Vague Visages

Mank probably spends more time than necessary defining the protagonist's own crisis of conscience within a corrupt and decaying dream factory.
