Critics Consensus

An urgent warning that feels like it's arriving a little too late, Aaron Sorkin's spiritual sequel to one of his crowning achievements is a worthwhile critique of social media's omnipresence that nonetheless pales in comparison to its predecessor.

Audience Says

Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen-White, and Jeremy Strong are a trio to be reckoned with, bringing impressive emotional weight to a sobering exploration of investigative tech reporting.

Aaron Sorkin is not as polished or as accomplished as David Fincher, who directed the predecessor, but this is a solid, engaging film that holds your attention.

Despite its fire-and-brimstone title, in other words, The Social Reckoning doesn't have much of a reckoning.

4/5

While it never ventures very deep into Zuckerberg’s psyche, The Social Reckoning makes a hearty meal of corporate malfeasance at a critical moment when the issue of accountability couldn’t be more compelling.

...what could have easily been a film about numbers or corporate greed (corporations being greedy is hardly news) becomes something more substantial.

C-

This is (Sorkin's) most vapid as a writer. It's uneven, way too concerned with its mechanics and has nothing to say other than "tisk, tisk Mr. Zuckerberg."

The dialogue has rhythm, but the song that accompanies it is more of an advertising jingle than a tune from the old musicals that [Aaron Sorkin's] central character—and he himself—love. [Full review in Spanish]

Genuinely just not a good movie. Its not accurate and is trying to make a big deal out of something and its an inaccurate assessment of it.
