Yeah, so I swore to the heavens to anyone who would listen that I would never watch a movie about Facebook. But I did, so fuck off.
Fast, breezy, informative, never dull, crisp dialogue that is some of Sorkins best and an amazing bunch of actors equals what really is a great movie.
In the end, the films only drawback is that while you're enveloped in it, at the end it just doesn't feel like it's left any sort of toll on your mind or heart. It's an experience, but an experience that you move on from without much plight.
The entire cast is top notch. Everyone comes off as relateable, even the characters who very easily could have fallen into cliche territory. Eisenberg does a masterful job of playing Zuckerberg, faults and all, while still remaining someone who we want to root for, or at the very least be redeemed.
A movie that reminds us how powerful dialogue can be, about a subject that has pretty much stripped it from our social upbringing. The Social Network is fabulous. I'd friend it.
