Cooper Raiff is officially on the scene, well on the way to whatever levels of stardom his grounded, awkward approach can vault him to. His second film relies on a lot of heart, a genuine understanding of young adult culture, and, of course, a lot of Cooper himself. The central relationship here is between him and Dakota Johnson, an actress that has seemed to carve out a nice niche for herself in the young mother role. Together they traverse the…

First watch (growing up)- Jesse Eisenberg played Mark Zuckerberg pretty well, he’s the backbone of this movie!
Second watch (more recently)- Andrew Garfield provides the real emotion in this film, he’s the real backbone of this.

Fourth watch (yesterday)- Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are gods among men, I have finally figured out what really makes this movie tick.
