The Social Network (2010)

CHANNEL 4, 1.10AM ★★★★★

 Jesse Eisenberg is superb as the gauche cyber-geek who became a billionaire in his twenties in this dazzling dramatisation of the story of Facebook. It may necessarily be speculative in parts about Mark Zuckerberg and his invention, but this is a brilliantly scripted and absolutely gripping tale of clashing egos, precocious talent and betrayal. Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield also star.
