It’s not Aaron Sorkin’s fault that Zuckerberg and Facebook have seen little in the way of consequences, but it’s certainly his fault he made a film which tries to suggest otherwise.

There's just no juice in "The Social Reckoning," a movie that's gawking at a car fire while the entire world burns.

3/5

The Social Reckoning needed another eye; someone fresh to draw out the emotion in this cold, preachy project. The first film felt exhilarating, buzzy. This one falls flat; won’t enter the culture in the same way.

While this may lack the cinematic visuals and score of its predecessor, Sorkin’s great dialogue and strong performances from the cast make this a worthy spiritual sequel.

B--

Aaron Sorkin’s strength has always been in his writing. His skills in direction, pacing, and visual composition are not as refined.

As is the case with many Sorkin efforts, Reckoning bolsters a talky screenplay that brims with the kind of clever repartee that distinguishes the Sorkin brand, but here can feel a bit formulaic.
