Mank

"A total SNOOZEfest. Don’t bother watching this one 👎🏾"

"Notably the casting and acting made the period piece feel like it came right out of the black and white era."

"Arguably better than Citizen Kane. Its amazing how far we’ve come as audiences in our abilities to understand complex narrative. My dad and I sat and helped explain things to each other while we watched- me about power dynamics, emotional details, cinematography and film techniques, and the scummy ways humans pressure each other; he about the political history of socialism movements. We’re both neurodivergent and focus on different things so it made for an interesting watch."

"A masterful work from a cinema mastermind (by way of his dad, no less). You're not gonna get it unless you appreciate Citizen Kane"

"Wow, filmed and acted beautifully. "

"This was just an amazing original movie. Filming it in black and white was pure genius! Gary Oldman.... say no more..."

"It takes a massive dump on the cesspool that is Hollywood. A+!"

"Beautiful storytelling and extremely poignant. Gary Oldman is truly remarkably nuanced. Love him in this."

"Watched this movie as I did my homework! "

"Watched it solely because of the nominations it received in recent award shows. I don't think it'll win best picture for the Oscar, but I adored the screenplay and feel it's one of the best scripts I've seen in a movie in years (which is perfect for this film, considering that the protagonist is forced to write his greatest script for an upcoming movie)."
