Movie / Film Review by Allison Rose | Oct 07, 2026 The Social Reckoning Revisits Facebook Through a New Lens Movie Review

The Social Reckoning has an interesting story and a strong performance from Mikey Madison, but a lack of urgency and Sorkin's heavy-handed approach keep it from matching The Social Network.

Aaron Sorkin returns to the world of Facebook with The Social Reckoning , following whistleblower Frances Haugen and journalist Jeff Horwitz as they expose the company's closely guarded secrets. It is difficult to imagine a world without Facebook and, in fact, most people born after the beginning of the 21st century have always had it in their lives.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning

Jul 10, 2023

Almost three hours fly by in what seems like 90-100 minutes and as the credits roll, the audience leaves the theater wanting more (luckily, part two will be released next summer).
