'The Social Network' was released over the weekend and has raked in a little less than $23 million. Now prior to its release, the film was well received by film critics and was likened to Citizen Kane (regarded as one of the best, if not the best film ever made). So with all the good critique and hype surrounding the film about the inception of Facebook and the life of founder, Mark Zuckerberg at that time. So, if you've watched the film, what do you think? Here are some reviews compiled by The Daily Beast:



Rolling Stone / A + + + +



“Award-caliber performances”



“A modern Rashomon”



The New York Times / A + +



“Fleet, weirdly funny, exhilarating, alarming”



“A creation story for the digital age and something of a morality tale, one driven by desire, marked by triumph, tainted by betrayal and inspired by the new gospel: The geek shall inherit the earth.”



The New York Post / A + +



“A timeless and compelling story that speaks volumes about the way we live today.”



“Zuckerberg ultimately commits an act of betrayal of Shakespearean proportions.”



Variety / A + +



“Fincher [has a] fascinating transition from genre filmmaker extraordinaire to indelible chronicler of our times.”



The Hollywood Reporter / A + + +



“A mesmerizing, bewildering and infuriating protagonist makes this movie about Facebook's creation a must-see.”



Box Office Magazine / A + + +



“Mesmerizing”



“Never less than extraordinary”



“A landmark masterwork and a must-see movie event”



IndieWire / A + + + +



“David Fincher can make five more masterpieces, Aaron Sorkin can win an Oscar, Tony and 20 more Emmys; Timberlake, Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Armie Hammer and Mara Rooney can all be big stars for the next half-century, but it will rarely be as sweet as this.”
