Title: repelled by the superficiality
Review: Let's face it, Facebook is not exactly the most dramatic of subject matters. Watching drunk college students typing frantically on keyboards may be your idea of a dramatic narrative - if it is this is for you. Curiously, the film looks and feels just like Zodiac - a crime film about a serial murderer. The scenes are drenched in somber, mysterious shadows as though vampires are afoot. The pasty faced fools who have somehow become the hero ideals of our generation are seen leaping about with Oriental 'hos of one type or another, while "the adults" all appear bored out of their mind. Most strange of all is the music, which is often so loud (obviously to make up for the lack of drama) that is actually drowns out the dialogue! A bizarre and totally useless film that tells us nothing about anything. Even the title is a bore. "Social Networking"? What does that mean? Is that what the film is about? I don't see much socializing in this film.
Is the review positive or negative?
