Stanko's Stance

• Good god the dialogue this movie. This screenplay is sharper than a knife in a five-star kitchen.
• I don’t get all the hype for Amanda Seyfried; she was good, not great
• This movie looks incredible. Like wow. Screw people who don’t like black & white.
• The best two scenes in the movie are the birthday party banter at the start and then scene-stealing dinner soliloquy delivered by Mank that seared the movie industry and everyone involved

STANKO RATING: A- (4.5/5 Stars)
