Scott Foundas has the first review of David Fincher’s Social Network , and not surprisingly (considering Foundas is on the New York Film Festival programming committee that made the film its opening-night selection), it’s a big, huge rave. ” The Social Network is splendid entertainment from a master storyteller, packed with energetic incident and surprising performances It is a movie of people typing in front of computer screens and talking in rooms that is as suspenseful as any more obvious thriller. But this is also social commentary so perceptive that it may be regarded by future generations the way we now look to Gatsby for its acute distillation of Jazz Age decadence.” That “bang” you just heard was the pistol officially starting the Oscar race.
