      Carson P An elegantly crafted, acted and written work of film perfection that is very accurate to the story of Facebook creator Zuckerberg. David fincher is a very talented director and has a type of his own and knows how to give great performances from actors including already great and talented ones and this could be his best it was well deserved of it's rave reviews and eight Oscar nominations. The direction is astonishing and the musical score is also very good. This is one of the best films of 2010, 2010s and even the current 21st century itself easily a masterpiece. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫💫💫💫✨✨✨✨ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review shayan a My favourite movie of all time, perfect actings, exciting story and everything was just. great I will give a 10/10 for this masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Erin M The final frame alone is the most thought provoking, emotional, and all around powerful frames (not even an entire scene - just a single frame) that I have ever seen. That frame alone exemplifies entire message of the movie as well as the brilliance of the the directors. And isn't it funny? Facebook had 500 million users when this movie released. It now sits at over 3 billion users. That fact alone gives that final frame so much more impact than before. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review David C One of, if not the, best movie of that decade. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Jay H My first watch was pretty bland. The dialogue felt overly "snappy" which was definitely the trend at the time. However, this movie just gets better with each watch. The minute interactions and layered language really paints a picture of just how awful Mark Zuckerberg is as a person. I originally thought the movie was too soft on Mark, but it is clear that this was spot on for just how much of a monster he really is. The score is pitch perfect and the editing is immaculate. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review SkyRo P I had never seen this film and I never really was interested in watching a film about social media Because at the end of the day, social media is such a toxic thing, yes, it can be pleasant when you are looking for some entertainment to just sit back and watch television on your phone, or search some historical facts or some video games or whatever it is you decide to research But also, it is so toxic because the social media world has allowed people to create this thing called cancel culture, and they have allowed the world to just destroy people, yes, people do things that are wrong, but we don't need to be a dead horse constantly so this film never gave me the want to watch it And then I did, and I thought this was an incredible film that actually taught you about the creation of a mega social media platform, and how the platform was created, built and almost destroyed They gave you a tag, and a serious tag on the world behind social media is, and I think it's an incredible watch, it's definitely something that grabs your attention and keeps you completely focused Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Deborah Ross The Spectator In its cold, almost forensic way, this is as tense and exciting as it is absorbing. It's a miracle, really. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online The Social Network, just like its subject, is the pop culture phenomenon of the new generation. Rated: A Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Hot Press Fincher does, at least, make decent entertainment out of such inherently unprepossessing subjects as computer use and legal hearings. Jan 13, 2017 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia A film by Fincher that, with a brilliant aesthetic, functions as the voice of expression of a generation silenced by the social isolation behind computers. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 9/10 Feb 24, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand There are plenty of pop psychology motivations seeded through the film... but they explain the protagonist about as much as Rosebud does in 'Citizen Kane.' This is a story of hubris and ambition, of friendship and jealousy, of class and cultural cache... Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review [David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin] elevate what could have been popular fodder into a serious, entertaining, and engaging drama that, through its depth and insight, regards business and social existence in the digital age with a critical eye.
