The Social Network review

http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100929/REVIEWS/100929984

Link to Robert Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times 's review of The Social Network

In this review Ebert applauds the movie's director,  David Fincher for such great use of dumbing down  computer programming, a subject that a select few people can understand, to in order to make the movie entertaining and "brilliant". Ebert tells of the opening scene by saying the dialouge includes speed-talking and an aggressive interrogation. He also goes into breif detail about what how the movie plays out with switching back and forth between lawsuits and discusses the actors who play each significant role, i.e. Eduardo Saverin, The Winklevosses, and Sean Parker.  Towards the end of the review, Ebert speaks more on the dialogue of the movie which he raves that it has "the velocity of a screwball comedy." He goes onto to praise the major actors in their success of achieving the difficult task of playing their roles with perfection. Ebert ends his review with calling the movie "spendidly well-made."
