It did take me a little while to really get into the film, but when i did oh boy did David Fincher inject C i n é m a straight into my veins.
I appreciate how the film really feels like a product of the 30s and 40s, like it realistically could have been made in either era and fit right in. I think for that reason it's possibly Fincher's most ambitious work to date and let him really go all out on something completely different. Stylistic choices like when a scene changes to a flashback using the same structure a script would were really nice details.
There's some brilliant performances, most notably from Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfriend and the story is an interesting one that is probably up for interpretation even though the film makes it very clear that it's in favour of Mank and not Orson Welles. Weirdly though it doesn't really make me want to go back and revisit Citizen Kane, but it does make me want to look into the behind the scenes of it more because I personally find that a lot more interesting. Makes a strong case to be a contender for one of the films of the year.

Mank is very different to the psychological thrillers I typically associate with David Fincher, and though I appreciate the finesse behind this film, it's just not my cup of tea. For one, the first act was very jumbled and rushed, while the rest of the film took a much more meandering pace which didn't pair well with the relatively long run-time. I also haven't watched Citizen Kane, I'm not very aware of past American politics and don't know much about what happened behind-the-scenes in real life, so the non-linear storytelling and multitudes of characters were a bit difficult to keep up with. However, Gary Oldman was pretty brilliant, and I also liked Charles Dance and Amanda Seyfried's performances. The black-and-white grading, fade transitions and other old Hollywood aesthetics were done really well, and from a technical aspect this was great. With that being said, I think this is a film I need to rewatch to understand and appreciate properly after doing some research.
