David Fincher's return to his father's old screenplay, about the writing of Citizen Kane by the immortal Herman J. Mankiewicz, is awash with Hollywood lore and golden-era standard bearers. If a fairly soulless but utterly whip-smart script of back and forths from ridiculously clever people, in love with how clever they are sounds like your perfect night in, you'll love it. If that sounds like pretentious twaddle and hell on earth, you'll hate it and find it intensely annoying. I loved it and the background of the way socialism was treated by right wing media, pushed it totally over the line for me. Also Gary Oldman's best role of the century as the lead. No doubt multiple Oscar nominations await as Hollywood loves to love itself.
