Review of The Social Network (2010) by Marc R — 04 Mar 2013
Everything in this film--- from the rhythmic editing to the unconventional score to the brilliant cast to the rapid-fire dialogue that they churn out--- seems to be working in perfect unison with each other, making for a fast-paced drama that has the tone of a thriller thanks to a rich screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and Fincher's chilly but restraIned direction.
This is a timely film with a timely subject, and it breezes by like a summer entertainment. After it's over, one will get the feeling that the filmmakers are making some sad statements about this generation.
In a cast full of vibrant performances, I was particularly impressed by Justin Timberlake, who struck the right tone of unchecked narcissism, wry intelligence, and jittery paranoia.
