The Social Reckoning  What to Know    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.
