Frenemies

The Social Network

Crit

Not surprised that Jesse Eisenberg could nail a despicable character and make you somehow feel sorry for him; for my money, he's the best male actor of his generation. Not surprised that David Fincher could keep us constantly engaged with stuff we often don't completely understand. But two aspects of this film absolutely blew my mind: first, what technology makes it possible for Armie Hammer to play both Winklevii, often side by side, with no visible seam? And second, how come nobody told me how freaking hilarious this thing is--or at least through the first half, when it's the best comedy of the year. Throughout, it's one of the best films. At times stunningly good.
