Definitely in the top 50 films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2019)

While not even close to being my favourite film, it is impossible to ignore the impact that Citizen Kane had on film.
I can understand how this may be a daunting film to watch. It's in black and white. It's also very divisive, even to this day. It seems you either love it or hate it.
I personally love it.
It's really not boring at all, as some people tend to claim. You are genuinely invested in this character's life until the end. It's really not about the newspaper business at all, rather the rise and fall of a man who had everything and nothing at the same time.
Once you get past some of the hammy performances from some supporting actors, this is a genuinely investing mystery that I will reccomend to anybody and everybody.
It is not my personal favourite film. In fact, it places at #32 on my personal top 50. That's not to say it's a bad film. It's far from it. All it means is that there are 31 films I prefer.
I am not one of those people that will become irate at the fact that there are people who dislike this film. One even went so far as to say that anybody who's favourite film isn't "Citizen Kane" should be bludgeoned with a hammer.
That's a bit much, isn't it?
It's definitely not #1. There are films that get me more invested, and overall just do more for me than Citizen Kane does.
Nonetheless, Citizen Kane is an amazing film that should be watched by everybody.
