Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
The Social Network presents a fascinating take on the origins of Facebook and the social media craze. David Fincher does a spectacular job of creating complex characters that go from despicable to likable and back in a matter of minutes. From the story to the acting to the soundtrack - this movie excelled. I was surprised by how much I liked this film, even with all the hype surrounding it.
The Social Network's brilliant, snappy dialogue, flawless acting, and superb cinematography make it one of the greatest films of all time, featuring one of the greatest scripts ever put to a screen.
The Social Network is a classic clean, well cut, directed, and written movie that is easy to watch and makes you think. Eisenberg is wonderful in the role of Zuckerberg, and paints a realistic and ambiguous picture of a complex man with a big modern influence. I always find true story movies like this to be wild, and extremely valuable to watch. Nothing in the story blows you away, and the ending is lifelike (obviously, as it's based on what really happened) in that it wasn't overly dramatic and not all characters had clean, deserved endings. A very satisfying, well-rounded film.
I remember sitting in a well-lit, spacious classroom talking to my friend who has long, voluminous beautiful hair, and she was telling about seeing this movie in Dubai and saying that it filled her with passion for coding, that Mark & co are so smart, that she wishes we were like them. We were IT majors.It must have been in 2010 or 2011, as she graduated in 2012, and I did in 2013. Those years I hardly watched any movies, as I was too obsessed with TV shows. I watched hundreds of them, mastering English and failing my classes in the meantime.Now, in December of 2017, I am getting slowly back to my roots, watching movies and reading articles, albeit very slowly and sporadically. It's weird, if I had watched this movie earlier, I'd probably have given it 10 stars, because it was gripping, exciting and aesthetically pleasing. But I am too deep in the tumblr and twitter culture now that I couldn't ignore how glaring the lack of good representation of women was in this film. They were either crazy, unimportant, or a prize that was awarded for anyone who got ahead.
