Review of The Social Network (2010) by Sumanjit R — 22 Feb 2013
When this film first came out I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. I couldn't understand how a film about facebook could be so successful and how if 'The King's Speech' hadn't been along this film probably would have won best picture at the Oscars.
Well I stand somewhat corrected. David Fincher has produced a picture that takes a at first what seems a boring storyline and turned it into an emotional look into the tale of the creation of this site.
But's it's not that, that makes this film what it is, it's the characters lives changing and moulding around this website as our main character Mark Zuckerberg played excellently by Jesse Eisenberg becomes obsessive over this website.
Eisenberg's and the rest of the cast's acting is first class, perhaps only Justin Timberlake's poor acting letting the film down at times. Interesting camera angles and a fantastic script make this a must see.
One of the best films of 2010 and one of Fincher's, possibly his best.
