Fincher at his best

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2018)

The Social Network had high expectations- apart from the fascinating subject which will be of immediate interests to driven millennials the film was being helmed by David Fincher and penned by Aaron Sorkin. The film justifies the expectation and all the credit goes to the men stated above. The Social Network is about friendship and jealousy intertwined with creativity and flashes of collaborative brilliance among a bunch of highly motivated young men. How much the film is close to the actual truth should be irrelevant as the screenplay itself is based on a book. But the resultant book is compatible for big screen fodder. The screenplay is as expected from Sorkin full of witty banter and cool exchanges. Fincher's direction is crisp, and the pacing is incredible. Cinematography is suitable for the subject location and Fincher never overdoes anything. Of course, this is riveting drama because of the actors, many of who have become well established today and they are all exceptional.
