David Fincher’s upcoming Netflix film “Mank” (starring Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Tom Burke, Charles Dance) tells the story of the production of Orson Welles’ masterpiece “Citizen Kane.” However, it will have a hard time breaking through to mainstream audiences. Here’s CinemaBlend Managing Editor Sean O’Connell’s spoiler-free review of the film.

You can see “Mank” in select theaters November 13, or stream “Mank” on Netflix December 4.

Katie was born and raised in St. Louis, and got her degree in Journalism even though she was the first to raise her hand when a professor asked "who here hates reporting?" She loves everything about video production, which probably stems from her obsession with movies and TV since she was young. When she's not dominating at Scene It? or scheming over the video team's workflow, she's probably snuggling with her dog or re-reading the Sarah J. Maas universe for the third time.
