Mank

In 1930s Hollywood, an outspoken, alcoholic screenwriter works under pressure to complete a major screenplay while reflecting on the studio politics, personal conflicts, and compromises that shaped his career. Flashbacks reveal the people and power struggles surrounding his work as he decides how firmly to stand behind it.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate old-Hollywood history, biting dialogue, and character-driven dramas like RKO 281; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, straightforward plots, or action.
