100%
EDIT
“Refreshingly, this is a war drama that doesn't hinge on indulgent or shameless violence. Instead, it focuses on the heart-wrenching devastation of more offhand cruelties.” –

Dogs Don't Wear Pants (2019)
90%

“With a gnarly nail removal that the French extremity genre would be proud of and a final scene that calls to mind the work of Claire Denis, it's safe to say that this is a film best experienced first hand rather than through a narrative summary.” –

EDIT
“Fincher's film is not geared towards flattery. Mank is much more interested in the pernicious greed of those who will dispense fallacies as fact if it means another dollar in their pocket.” –
