As most of you have heard, this film is considered by many as the best film of the year. To me, it may not be the best, but definitely in the top 3 (the other two being Toy Story 3 and maybe How to Train Your Dragon). However, since my review isn't going to differ all that much from other critic's reviews, it may not serve a great purpose to continue reading it. But, to those of you who will continue to read it (and those of you who continue to read my blogs in general), thank you :) ...Anyway, this film is about how Facebook came to be. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.
Everything about this film is great! The acting, the cinematography, the writing, the story. Eisenberg works his way up my list of favorite actors as he convincingly plays Zuckerberg. The film shows 3 sides of an argument without ever really taking sides. It never once takes itself too seriously, however, it wouldn't be categorized as a comedy (although it is very funny). This is a prime example of brilliant film-making.
There wasn't anything I didn't like about it. It's one of the smartest movies that you'll ever watch, yet still be able to follow. I won't be surprised if it wins Best Picture.
Overall Grade: A+
