The Social Network
In 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programmer Mark Zuckerberg begins work on a new concept that eventually turns into the global social network known as Facebook. Six years later, Mark is one of the youngest billionaires ever, but his unprecedented success leads to both personal and legal complications when he ends up on the receiving end of two lawsuits, one involving his former friend.

What's been said
Viewers and critics received The Social Network with near-universal enthusiasm, with critics calling it one of the best films of 2010 and beyond, and general audiences largely agreeing. The most praised elements are Aaron Sorkin's razor-sharp screenplay, Fincher's precise direction, Jesse Eisenberg's performance as Zuckerberg, and the Oscar-winning score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The most common viewer complaint is that the characters are difficult to like, with some audience members finding it hard to care about the story when no one on screen is particularly sympathetic. Notably, Zuckerberg himself publicly disputed the film's accuracy, telling Oprah Winfrey that the drama and partying depicted are mostly fiction.
