Mank is a gorgeous telling of the process of writing Citizen Kane. It is a film fan's film, full of imagery, music, script breaks, cigarette burns and how Hollywood can fuck one in the ass. To me this is a step up for David Fincher, as unlike Gone Girl, this feels like it has heart and passion behind it. It is a bit oscar baity sure but what film about Citizen Kane wouldn't be? It is also Trent Reznor's best score since the Social Network.
