Its amazing tempo makes this movie so enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2020)

While watching this movie, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
The movie lasts around 2 hours but to me it seemed like half an hour.
All this is thanks to specially a great editing, but also the script and narration that gives this movie an amazing rhythm and tempo.
To me, this is by far the best part of this nice movie.
Although the script is not bad, and it also helps to provide this movie with such a nice tempo, fastest movie I've seen since Billy Wilder's "One, Two, Three" (1961). However, I don't find the dialogs as smart as other people do, that consider Aaron Sorkin's scripts very intellectual. Conversations are just normal for me, if you want to see intellectual scripts then I'd refer you to Joseph L. Mankiewicz movies like "All about Eve" (1950) or Igmar Bergman movies.
Also I found some elements of the script a bit artificial and flawed. Starting with the initial scene, where Erica and Mark are having a discussion, then the audience "discovers" that they are in a relationship in a very artificial way, by having one of the characters say it: MARK: "We are dating" this should be the last resource used when screenwriting, same goes for the way they break up just in the next line: ERICA: "Not anymore"
Regarding the photography, and the way Fincher directed actors, It was quite mediocre during the film which doesn't really matter because they weren't really important elements for this movie in my opinion.
Overall I gave this movie a solid grade because I enjoyed watching this movie and in my opinion, entertainment is something that should be appreciated when rating a movie.
