Summary - Really Great 4.5

While it’s no Pirates of Silicon Valley, TSN was a really great movie. I have to admit this movie made me nostalgic for my college days: I was a sophomore when the University of Miami became one of the first 20 schools to join Facebook and only 10 people from my high school were members when I joined. The movie was certainly a good look into the “history” of Facebook, although I am extremely curious about whether it is historically accurate (and also, if everyone signed non-disclosure documents, who provided all the insider info???).

Acting - Great 4.0

Outstanding performances by Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield.
Justin Timberlake (whom I idolize as an entertainer) reached the same level of “Aw, he’s actually not a bad actor” that he achieved in Alpha Dog.
The rest of the cast, I felt, was very average.

Film - Perfect 5.0

How do you lose with David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin at the wheel? Seriously … I mean, seriously.

Edge - Risqué 1.7

Reality - Surreal 3.0

I honestly don’t know how real or fake this movie is, and I don’t think we’ll ever actually know. However, it does line up with much of what I had previously heard and read about the beginnings of Facebook. I’m going to give this a 3 (surreal) to account for the fact that I don’t know if it’s totally real or totally fake.

  Great observation about the movie’s “Freudian arguments”.

  Regarding DrakeReviews’s Review
  Great video review Drake. Solid observation on the camera angles, especially during the post-breakup scene when he’s running back to his dorm. I also thought the music during that scene worked especially well.
