Impeccable writing, the sort of writing that reminds you why you love cinema.

Mank’s undeniable wit draws you in, but you sort of get lost in the story and it gets difficult to follow at times.

This story is so beautiful. It’s an experience, not only with accepting disabilities and redefining them, but accepting the realities that come with human conditions. You want to grasp on comfort and do anything to maintain it, but sometimes that’s not attainable.

It's Charlie Kaufman.

Don't think for one fucking second that he's going to make a simple film for you to just understand in one go.

To be able to adapt this incredibly sad and mind-bending novel into a film is a feat in itself. Kaufman's interpretation was harmonious and tactful, considering how the book ends.

I would 100% recommend reading the book before watching the film, however I do not think it is absolutely necessary. Just read the book too.

Just a couple bros being dudes, just living life, not a phone in sight.

It was hard to believe that I saw a pretty accurate representation of my people (tlingit/haida) in a film and the language spoken sounds just like when my great uncles would speak while carving in the kitchen. I miss the PNW and I seriously miss the smell of cedar.

A buddy film for the ages, a masterpiece. I really loved every moment.
