Popcorn Culture - Review: Mank

Citizen Kane is widely regarded as the most must-see film in Hollywood history. But behind the scenes, there was enough drama unfolding to rival its on-screen counterpart. Adding to Citizen Kane's strange and illustrious mythology is Mank - a film directed by David Fincher and written by his late father, Jack Fincher, nearly a decade ago. Mank explores 1930s Hollywood through the lens of Herman J. Mankiewicz, a witty, raging alcoholic, as he locks horns with industry titans during the turbulent making of one of Hollywood's landmark films. We review Fincher's latest offering and discuss if Mank is good, bad, or the perfect kind of Oscar bait.
