One of the best films of 2010 for sure.

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2017)

I skipped out on the social network when it first released back in 2010. I was fourteen at the time and watching the promos and trailers for it really only made me think "A movie about Facebook? I'll pass, thanks." but having watched the movie for a second time now after noticing a lot of praise for it, and coming to be a little more accepting to genres and actors I hadn't been very into before and seeing Andrew Garfield's performance in Hacksaw Ridge, I can honestly say this movie is probably one of my favorite of the decade so far. In all honesty it's not a movie about "Will Facebook become successful despite the lawsuit?" since we all know that it does. It's a movie about the deterioration of friendships and how the idea of success can come to change someone. It's beautifully acted and Aaron Sorkin's dialogue is some of the best I've ever seen. It's never boring even at it's slowest and it's definitely worth a watch.
