- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Chris Barsanti @ PopMatters
- Excerpt: While this roustabout story about Herman Mankiewicz’s battle to write the Orson Welles classic is clearly impressed with itself, Mank is easily David Fincher’s best work since ‘Zodiac’.
- [New] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A look at the influence of power and money in 1930s Hollywood through the eyes of a talented but blocked and addicted writer.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: David Fincher (“The Social Network,” Gone Girl”), a notorious perfectionist known for his grueling number of takes, has meticulously reconstructed Hollywood of the 1930’s and 40’s to deconstruct the rot behind a studio system feeding lies to the American public.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: I admire a lot about Mank, especially from a technical perspective. However, it’s historically dubious choices and in-jokey aesthetics ultimately left me cold.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: MANK doesn’t stank, but it isn’t exactly an odoriferous jewel either.
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: A lot is therefore happening beneath the surface of this known drunken court jester-centered biopic and those willing to absorb it all should have a jolly good time.
- Dennis Schwartz @ Dennis Schwartz Reviews
- Excerpt: It’s a behind- the- scenes look on the making of Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane” (1941)
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Exquisitely directed, beautifully crafted, brilliantly stylized, with a superb script and phenomenal acting across the board. Gary Oldman excels as screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz and Amanda Seyfried, as actress Marion Davies, has never been better.
- Josh Taylor @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: David Fincher’s artistic touches, and the layered moral dilemma at the heart of Mank, don’t tell the whole of Herman J. Mankiewicz’s life. But they do combine to leave one hell of an impression.
