Review of The Social Network (2010) by Casey S — 29 Jan 2013
The Social Network is so many things; it's riveting, it's sharp, it's beautiful, and it's one of the most finely crafted films ever created - this is David Fincher's masterpiece. The film brims with fantastic performances from an ensemble of young actors that brim with energy and all manner of emotions - Jesse Eisenberg's turn as the famous Mark Zuckerberg is Oscar-worthy, as is Andrew Garfield's portrayal of his best friend turned enemy, Eduardo Saverin.
Of course, the acting is aided heavily by its fantastic score, impeccable direction, and near-perfect script. While it is often labeled as the 'Facebook' movie, The Social Network is full of so many other things - the importance of being honest, wanting to belong, the craziness of relationships, and maybe most of all, the drama of betrayal.
From its opening shot to its closing one, The Social Network is a very special film - and one that will linger in your mind for weeks to come.
