December Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss1 of 21
Mank | Premieres Friday, Dec. 4 on Netflix
Plot: 1930s Hollywood is re-evaluated through the eyes of scathing social critic and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz as he races to finish the screenplay of Citizen Kane for Orson Welles.
Our Take: Lately, there's a lot of goss about how many Oscars Netflix might stream away with this year, and what projects will come out of David Fincher's recently announced four-picture deal with the streaming service, but I'm just happy that Mank is getting an early December release, so I didn't have to pull an Irishman and get super bummed out again on Christmas Day. — Arno
