I didn't like it. Cinematography and art dept are brilliant. They deserved their awards. I did like how its an expensive film that focuses on Upton Sinclair's attempts to be governor. Orson Welles fans got upset but the film isn't about him, really, it's about Mank.
But... it's not great. So much didn't feel real. Ben Hecht and others pitching a film to studio execs. Everyone standing around watching Mank do his speech. The marriage between Mank and his wife. The character of Marion Davies. The relationship between the brothers. None of it felt real. This was a hard slog.
