Review: Mank

[iamwhatiseem]

Well, for the first time I can't honestly give a real review on this one. Because, well.... we both fell asleep about 15 minutes in.
It's boring, and the writers do a poor job providing a back story to what is going on. You are several minutes into it before you have any idea who is who.. and why they are doing what they are doing. And since nothing was really happening but dialogue, we fell asleep.
It wasn't late. And we not only switched to another movie and stayed awake for that, but watched an episode of American Pickers after that...

I'll say pass... unless you can't sleep.

I agree

I liked the idea of the story behind Citizen Kane
But Mank was boring. Two hours of watching an unlikeable drunk. Don’t see what the critics saw in it.

Yeah I was surprised when Bonzi told me about it's accolades. Perhaps that is because they like to pat each other on the back?
