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.
