The Social Network

We saw the Facebook movie this evening.  It's very good (as any David Fincher film would be) and terrifically well-written (naturally) but it delivered less than I had hoped.  The acting is impressive (it's not fair to pick out any individual but Jessie Eisenberg, who I liked in The Squid And The Whale, is wonderful).  The dialogue is stunning at times.  But the Zuckerberg journey (from one fictional female telling him he's an asshole to another fictional female telling him he's not really an asshole, only trying too hard to be one) felt too contrived, a little too twee.  But I'm nit-picking.  Good movie.
