The Social Network Reviews

How human beings connect, and how they can become isolated based on a variety of factors, is the key question at the heart of The Social Network. As time changes, and technology continues to evolve, these universal questions will continue to live on.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 16, 2024

David Fincher’s The Social Network explores a side of college life not usually seen in movies, and scrutinizes the ones that usually are.

| Nov 16, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 1, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 1, 2024

The Social Network has the potential to be a classic, a masterpiece for our times that captures early 21st century life, while still offering robust, mature entertainment.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 7, 2024

A film by Fincher that, with a brilliant aesthetic, functions as the voice of expression of a generation silenced by the social isolation behind computers. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 24, 2024

There are plenty of pop psychology motivations seeded through the film... but they explain the protagonist about as much as Rosebud does in 'Citizen Kane.' This is a story of hubris and ambition, of friendship and jealousy, of class and cultural cache...

[David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin] elevate what could have been popular fodder into a serious, entertaining, and engaging drama that, through its depth and insight, regards business and social existence in the digital age with a critical eye.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 3, 2023

The Social Network will go down as one of the best movies of the 21st century, and potentially one of the best movies of all time. It’s Sorkin, Fincher, Eisenberg, and Garfield all at the top of their game.

The Social Network is another masterful piece of cinema, this time delivered by not one but two magnificent filmmakers. David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin employ their mutual perfectionism and meticulousness to create an extraordinarily engaging narrative.

| Original Score: A | Jul 24, 2023

Equally absorbing are its themes of friendship and loyalty in a playground of petty politics. A superb Jesse Eisenberg as the insensitive, conflicted genius was a revelatory match for Fincher's technical talent.

The Social Network is an electrifying look into Frankenstein's laboratory. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 20, 2022

The craft on display is impeccable like every Fincher production, and there’s an equally brilliant screenplay to support him.

| Original Score: 10/10 | May 27, 2022

A perfectly poignant and cautionary tale about how the biggest influencers in tech began and continue to operate today.

| Jul 28, 2021

An emotional and suspenseful story...a moral tale about the sweet smell of success.

| Jul 23, 2021

Much, much better than a film about Facebook has any right to be...

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 21, 2021

The Social Network posits that perhaps the tastiest cinematic treat is one that renders its audience gleefully captivated until they transcend into a fugue dream state.

| Feb 17, 2021

Who knew coding and depositions could be exciting? Fincher's direction is surgical, Sorkin's script is a thing of beauty and the young cast is superb. The Social Network is outstanding. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 5, 2021

The combination of rapid fire dialogue, driven performances, and impeccable editing give The Social Network an incredible sense of energy.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jan 3, 2021

A decade later, it plays more like a supervillain origin story. It's There Will Be Blood if Daniel Plainview was a dweeby computer programmer who drank lots of Mountain Dew.
