I stuck around for the credits just to check if they used twin actors for these roles or not. I thought they used a single actor (with really solid camerawork/sleight of hand split screen style effect), while my friends were convinced it was twin actors. Turns out we were both wrong. Brilliant.

I'll second that. I was blown away that the "Winklevii" weren't portrayed by identical twins, and even more shocked to discover that there was actually a totally different person playing one of them.

Really impressive special effects. Arguably more so than Avatar in its own way. Avatar's effects were impressive, but you could tell they were just that. Social Network actually threw you. Very cool.

Having the opportunity to see this film in post-production stages (the face projection process, in particular), I can really appreciate how much time and effort went into fooling the audience into thinking that no visual effects work went on at all. And that after all, is the ultimate goal, which the folks at Lola managed to pull off. Good work!
