IMDb 6.8 Metacritic 79 RT 83%

If you're a cinema buff who loves Hollywood history and witty dialogue, absolutely watch it—Fincher's black-and-white craftsmanship is gorgeous and Gary Oldman chews scenery like it owes him money. Fair warning: it's a talky, boozy slog about screenwriting that won't appeal to everyone, and the IMDb score suggests general audiences find it more admirable than actually entertaining.

Director: David Fincher
