Review of The Social Network (2010) by Casey D — 06 Jun 2013
Aaron Sorkin is one of the best writers out there, and this script is just more evidence for it. As always the it is focused on the characters, and the emotion never gets overshadowed by the premise. Cinematography and direction were simple, but did exactly what the script needed it to do to get the desired emotional effect.
Music was terriffic; the dark ambience went well with the Internet thing. Editing was clean and every time my gut told me there should be a cut, or slow motion overlay, or montage, or certain video on top of certain audio, it was there.
Acting was brilliant, especially Eisenberg/Zuckerberg; you could see his social awkwardness, but it didn't fall into the empathy-incapable archetype, as you could see when Mark was emotionally hurt.
The Social Network was everything it was supposed to be.
