Impeccably scripted, beautifully directed, and filled with fine performances, The Social Network is a riveting, ambitious example of modern filmmaking at its finest.

In its cold, almost forensic way, this is as tense and exciting as it is absorbing. It's a miracle, really.

The Social Network, just like its subject, is the pop culture phenomenon of the new generation.

Fincher does, at least, make decent entertainment out of such inherently unprepossessing subjects as computer use and legal hearings.

3.5/4

Like the screwball comedies and film noir staples of yore, The Social Network exhibits an extraordinary gift for gab.

Leave it to David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin to make the development of Facebook and the terrible minds behind it so riveting.

Much better than we remembered. Seeing it in 4K on the big screen made a difference. The soundtrack and editing were especially striking, and the script was razor sharp, at times laugh-out-loud funny.

This movie is incredibly well written with some great acting, even from some actors I’m not huge fan of like Andrew Garfield or Justin Timberlake they both do great jobs in this movie and if not for some other incredible films in 2010 Jesse Eisenberg could have easily won an Oscar

The Social Network is a very popular drama film. It was released in 2010 and it stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, and Andrew Garfield as his friend Eduardo Saverin. The plot is about a young student who creates a social networking website at university. The website becomes very successful, but Mark has problems with his friends and people who work with him. There are many interesting and tense scenes in the film. Will he be able to keep his friends and his success? The film is set in different locations, such as a university, offices and courtrooms. This gives the film a serious atmosphere. The soundtrack is good and helps make the film more exciting. The acting is very good, especially Jesse Eisenberg, who plays his role in a clear and realistic way. I would recommend The Social Network to people who like films about real life and modern technology. It is interesting from the beginning to the end.

A pretty cool way to tell the story of Facebook's upbringing. I just couldn't get behind how quickly paced this was.

Well done and very interesting story throughout without feeling too long or convoluted. Great performances by everyone, especially Jesse Eisenberg who was perfectly cast in the role of Zuckerberg.
