The Social Network is one of those rare films that excel on every level – the acting, the writing, the directing, the scoring… the purpose and the impact. It’s a film that defines the interconnectivity of a generation, presented to us via emulative characters and authoritative social conceits. It’s The Breakfast Club (1985) minus the charactures and tenderness, those things replaced by cutthroat aspiration and a Trent Reznor synth set.
