What lies beneath

Key points

• Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning revisits the Facebook story he wrote for The Social Network, now focusing on a 2021 exposé based on leaked internal documents. Mikey Madison plays Facebook staffer Frances Haugen, who worries about the company spreading conspiracy theories and extremist material, while Jeremy Allen White plays Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz.
• Jeremy Strong's caricatured Mark Zuckerberg prepares for a congressional hearing.
• The film is dialogue-driven and treats its whistleblower and journalist as heroes, ending on a note of misplaced optimism.
