The Social Reckoning

2026· 1h 53m

Sharp talk, high stakes, hold your breath together

Aaron Sorkin turns a real tangle of conscience into a tense, electric drama thriller about a Facebook engineer, played by Mikey Madison, who risks everything to tell the truth. Jeremy Strong and Jeremy Allen White bring heat to the kind of crackling, quick-witted talk that will have the two of you arguing happily on the walk home. It is smart, stylish, and endlessly discussable, exactly the sort of night out that keeps going long after the credits.

Digger

A beautiful meltdown, equal parts funny and tender

Alejandro G. Inarritu spins a comedy drama about the most powerful man in the world racing to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he unleashed swallows everything. With Tom Cruise at the center and a rich cast including Riz Ahmed, John Goodman and Sandra Huller, it swings from absurd to unexpectedly moving. It is the kind of ambitious, big-feeling film that leaves couples trading reactions all evening.
