The Spectator

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

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

There's so much story in this and provided a great platform for Jesse Eisenberg. It definitely feels like a lot of liberties with this true story but that doesn't make it less entertaining.

Rated: 4/5

This is a "Top Ten" film for me. The performances, direction, cinematography, score, and of course, the incredible Aaron Sorkin screenplay make this film a classic.

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. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫💫💫💫✨✨✨✨
