MANK: Outstanding crafting skills and strong transformation from Amanda Seyfried, but also an obsession with picking and picking historical tidbits that would rank the very movies on the surface it was made. Plus stories about Upton Sinclair more than anyone ever needed. 🎥🍸

#Mank is a sight to behold with each shot so meticulously elaborate that you’ll want to take regular pauses of the movie just to stare at it. A crazy and authentic comeback that lovers of classic movies will love. Are you a lover of provocative Hollywood stories? This is for you pic.twitter.com/39N7fLOOv5

MANK is an exceptional film maze, a thrilling and unpredictable approach to decoding Hollywood history in its own language. No, you won’t get the exact plot of CITIZEN KANE (& Orson appears relatively unscathed); You will get a noticeable window on what it means.

#MANK was beautifully captured. Erik Messerschmidt’s cinematography is very lush and Trish Summerville’s outfit is superb. This is a handcrafted party, and the scores of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are glorious. #MANK is finely crafted and visually pleasing. #OSCARS pic.twitter.com/h0FQOdFyyd

Technically, #Mank has a lot to admire. Production, filming, audio and scores are the strongest factors and top picks for #Oscars.
This is an AP Film History course for movie enthusiasts, which may alienate some in general. Arliss Howard and Tom Pelphrey are the standout ones. pic.twitter.com/FQAQa66iA9

MANK isn’t really talking about creating Citizen Kane; that’s how Hollywood machines build up and quickly fall down. Fantastic script and construction, a technical feat, and a bizarre fit. All performed well but Arliss Howard, Tom Pelphrey and Amanda Seyfried stood out. #Mank pic.twitter.com/mWawolXQyE

I like that David Fincher’s dad got the credit for writing only the script on MANK (a good movie about how hard it is to be good)

David Fincher is in good shape with #Mank. It’s dazzling and intended for movie buffs. A shrewd, clever criticism of Hollywood’s golden age & evokes a dreamlike reverence for perfection. Seyfried is winning. Cinematic work by Erik Messerschmidt, a lavish love affair. Editor Kirk Baxter won the highest score pic.twitter.com/c6GsK2muN2

#Mank is the love letter to cinema we need urgently this year, and it is anchored by another great twist from Gary Oldman, as well as a truly captivating performance by Amanda Seyfried, who deserves worth every acting award. I love this movie.

David Fincher’s #Mank is a hell product. An intelligent, engaging ride to a bygone era. Explore Hollywood 30’s, political and ideal. Gary Oldman is perfect, Tom Pelphrey is impressive & Amanda Seyfried is awesome. Photography is gorgeous, magic point. A love letter. pic.twitter.com/yRcQUKBVLl

And yes, the filmmaking style is fun, but it’s hard to maintain enthusiasm for those things throughout a movie. “Wait, * other * disappeared! Whoa, it’s * still * mono! “
