The Trial of the Chicago 7 - on Netflix

I've only seen the two on Netflix. I thought Chicago 7 was pretty good, but Mank was a snoozer unless you're super knowledgeable and into Old Hollywood. I watched Citizen Kane ages ago but if you didn't tell me it was about that I would have had no idea.

Some of the above movies you can find On Demand, but they're going upwards of $20+ for 2 days.

My ratings:

Nomadland - 7.5/10. Interesting story but too slow/artsy
The Father - Haven't watched.
Judas and the Black Messiah - 8.5/10. Great acting by both co-leads.
Mank - 7/10. Lot of solid technical directing/filmmaking from David Fincher but story was boring.
Minari - 9/10. Great story, highly touching being Asian. My fav of the bunch, but gutwrenching.
Promising Young Woman - Haven't watched.
Sound of Metal - 8.5/10. Great story.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 - 8/10. Engaging courtroom thriller.
