It’s hard to say if Mark Zuckerberg would appreciate this depiction of himself, portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg. The character comes across as a man who is overly confident and willing to disregard almost everyone to realize his vision: an online platform that allows people to communicate instantly. He gets the initial idea from the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer), and with $1,000 borrowed from his closest friend, Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), he begins developing "Facebook." The project soon catches the eye of Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), but it’s obvious that neither he nor Saverin are a good fit for Zuckerberg. As the film unfolds, the characters' personalities become sharply defined as ambition drives Zuckerberg further into isolation. Eisenberg delivers a strong performance; his portrayal of an intelligent, sarcastic, and determined individual is captivating—even if you might occasionally want to yell at him. Garfield also does well as someone who stands in stark contrast to Zuckerberg, only understanding late on that he’s been manipulated and ultimately initiating the legal action that forms the basis of this biographical film. The extent to which this story reflects reality or is purely imagined remains unclear due to numerous non-disclosure agreements, but Aaron Sorkin's writing and David Fincher's direction are superb as we witness a nascent industry shaped by both selfishness and ingenuity.
