20 Best Netflix Original Movies

David Fincher's most recent drama requires constant attention from its audience, as it digs into the murky past of Citizen Kane and the classic film's screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) with creative, fast-paced complexity.

Many casual moviegoers may not completely hit it off with Mank given its incredibly detailed approach to Old Hollywood, but between Oldman's searing performance, Amanda Seyfried's career-best supporting turn and the staggering technical achievement of the finished product, it's hard to argue with the results.

For anyone wanting to know about Citizen Kane and the stylish, scandalous ins and outs of the film industry, then Mank is about as good as it gets. Fincher's eye for detail and passion for cinema shines with every scene, and between the great ensemble, marvellous cinematography and moody aesthetic, Mank is certainly one of the filmmaker's most accomplished projects to date.
