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.
Adam Nayman The Ringer 2 hrs agoWatching The Social Reckoning won’t kill you, but it won’t make you stronger, either. The best-case scenario, perhaps, is that it prompts you to pick up a newspaper or listen to a podcast. Go to Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone 2 hrs agoIt’s a compilation of the best and the worst of Sorkin, bellowed into a microphone that’s giving off a tad too much feedback. Go to Full Review Annie Berke The New Republic 5 hrs ago The Social Reckoning is a journalism movie that feels like a play, and a didactic one at that. Go to Full Review Diane Carson AWFJ.org 9 min agoWith his characteristic targeted dialogue and efficient pace, writer/director Aaron Sorkin dramatizes an uncomplicated but extremely important story. All the performances support and promote the theme, good versus evil without nuance. Go to Full Review M.V. Moorhead Phoenix Magazine 2 hrs agoThe Social Rekoning is one of the few movies this year that I feel the urge to see again. I think this is because the critique of social media, and especially of social media co-opting the role of journalism, is so bracing and apt and overdue.
