Mank is unwatchable pretentious drivel. The fast talking script is full of deep cuts for the oldest film buffs but it's horribly boring to the rest of us.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Revisionist history by Fincher here and not worth watching based on that fact alone.… Expand

It was really bad. I really don't understand why many people like this movie. For me, this is the real bait for the Oscar.

For me, Fincher missed the mark here. I'm shocked to see how high the score is, with the user score right up there, too. Didn't anyone else get bored of the drunken pretentiousness displayed? To think of Oldman scoring another Oscar nom forFor me, Fincher missed the mark here. I'm shocked to see how high the score is, with the user score right up there, too. Didn't anyone else get bored of the drunken pretentiousness displayed? To think of Oldman scoring another Oscar nom for this is almost too much to handle (Fincher to Oldman: "Keep doing exactly the same thing over and over. That is my only note."). It's sloppy. And I know it's supposed to be mimicking "Kane," but sloppy is sloppy. Seyfried was very good. Charles Dance was very good. That is why my score is as high as it is. Oh, the guy who plays Louis B Mayer is very good, too. And now my sloppiness has mimicked "Mank."… Expand

And why Fincher is the most overrated filmmaker of his generation. The greatness of Citizen Kane has far less to do with Mank's script than Orson Welles'ingenuous use of the camera. As such, Welles was the only American who was European in its artistry whereas all the Europeans used by MGM and Co had sold their soul for that Faustian bargain. We just don't need to put it on a negative. We know this already! Cinema is "sculpting time", not telling a story. For that you have books, but you don't read, you dumb Yankees! Watch L'année dernière à Marienbad or Tarkovsky's Zerkalo!… Expand

The worst film of the year! Definitely, this film is the main attraction for the Oscars!

How can you make a boring movie about Hollywood? Fincher who has directed some of favorite films bombed with this. I was expecting so much more. Terrible waste of time.

The movie is the definition of Oscar bait and tries a bit too hard at times to be one.

Oldman gives a solid performance but it's mostly an ensemble piece where the cast as a whole performs well (especially Burke as Welles) but no one really truly shines. Honestly, It's a very overrated movie that is sure to get some nominations come awards time but I doubt it'll win much of anything.… Expand

This movie was boring. I imagine this will be one of the worst Oscar-winning films of all time, maybe the worst. The two people I watched with fell asleep during the film. Do anything else with your time.
