The verdict
Audiences rate it 7.0 out of 10 on TMDB across 88 votes — a solid score. It is playing 16 times at 6 cinemas across 5 districts, from HK$90 to HK$130 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at Emperor Cinemas Central (Entertainment Building) in Central, HK$90. 113 minutes.
What it is about
Inspired by true events and the whistleblower who started the social media reckoning we’re seeing play out today, this Aaron Sorkin original screenplay is a companion piece to the hit film The Social Network and a true David and Goliath story. Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.
What to expect
Aaron Sorkin writes and directs this 113-minute drama, a companion piece to The Social Network. Mikey Madison plays a Facebook engineer who, with Wall Street Journal reporter Jeremy Allen White, works to expose internal practices the company wants kept quiet. Jeremy Strong, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, and Billy Magnussen round out the cast. The movie runs on dialogue and the accumulating weight of institutional pressure rather than action. It is playing in English with Chinese subtitles at a single Hong Kong cinema this week, across three screenings. Tickets from HK$60. With that footprint, anyone interested should check the schedule sooner rather than later.

Check out my full review @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/the-social-reckoning-movie-review-aaron-sorkin-turns-the-facebook-files-into-an-infuriating-essential-wake-up-call/ Rating: A THE SOCIAL RECKONING sits on the same pedestal as THE SOCIAL NETWORK for me, and here's an add-on to that already massively hot take: this one matters more! Aaron Sorkin turns the Facebook Files into an infuriating film about a company that knew exactly what it was doing. […]

Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison) has put together quite a concerning list of questions that are continually being sidelined by her Facebook bosses. Despite ostensibly working for the integrity unit of this corporation, it's all about loyalty to the business and to the cause and so they are specifically warned off pesky journalists trying to rock the boat like Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White). […]

Films designed to evoke righteous indignation among audience members have one vital task to fulfill: make sure they produce content and yield feelings that live up to their intentions. Unfortunately, that’s where this latest offering from writer-director Aaron Sorkin routinely swings and misses. […]
