I agree on the flaws being nitpick-level in general, but they did add up to something oddly distasteful I thought. A couple examples: the Netflix International Pictures card at the start, or the digitally inserted reel splotches when he goes to talk to his buddy about the anti-Sinclair campaign. Both are extremely small aspects of the project, easy to minimize, but they also feel like very pointed additions to make it seem like it's an attempt at replicating the feel of a Golden Era movie, but purely through a lazy Easter Egg methodology. It would've been a lot more convincing if, say, the dialogue had more of the razor-sharp wisecracks this era's films are so famous for. Instead of that we get several scenes where Mank is hanging out with other screenwriters in which the barbs feel flat and drab
