Said and done. I made myself an old fashion and watched Citizen Kane tonight, and I have to agree with your review. It's a fine piece of art, certainly well produced for the time, but frankly I just didn't really get into the story. It doesn't feel like a cohesive whole. The prologue was so long and on the nose that it was pretty clear from the get go that rosebud was (spoiler alert!) the sled, and then I felt the rest of the movie was just an overly pretentious attempt to convey that it doesn't matter how rich you are if you never get to have your childhood, or something. I quite enjoyed Welles performance though, and in fact I quite enjoyed the performance of most of the characters, especially Bernstein and Leland. The scenes when they arrive at the inquirer we're brilliant. Well, I'm glad to have finally seen this movie but – fully appreciating that I probably have no clue what I'm talking about – I wouldn't place it in my top 10 favorite movies. Probably not even top 100 to be honest.
