Six years after Gone Girl, America’s most meticulous living filmmaker returns to tackle the true story behind Citizen Kane, which is still considered by many to be one of the greatest film ever made. Working from a script authored by Fincher’s late father, Jack (his only screenwriting credit), Mank is a Fincher family passion project that’s aimed squarely at film enthusiasts. Stacked with an excellent cast and bolstered by Fincher’s immaculate technical prowess, Mank is an interesting glimpse behind the creative curtain of one of cinema’s most beloved films, but it can’t quite form the emotional connection to really command a viewer’s full attention.
