Review of Mank (2020) by Rwncop — 29 Mar 2021
First just want to comment that it's nice to watch a new film in black & white. It captures the time period correctly and makes it feel like an old movie. Citizen Kane had some of the best cinematography and Mank followed.
There were some scenes where the visual effects were too obvious, but I think that has something to do with it being in black & white. I thought Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried played their roles really well.
The beginning of the film didn't do a good job to setup the film, I felt like I was in the middle and I had lost my attention. If you haven't watched Kane recently then you will probably get lost in some dialogue.
However, once you start to understand who is who and what is going on it's where Mank starts to shine.
