The Social Reckoning

2026· 1h 53m

A whisper that becomes a roar

Aaron Sorkin turns the story of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen into a taut, electric drama, with Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, and Jeremy Strong trading the kind of fast, crackling dialogue that fills the walk home with conversation. It is tense and intelligent without ever being heavy, the sort of thriller that leaves the two of you still debating who was right long after the credits roll.

Sharp, talkable, quietly thrilling
Sorkin dialogue and a stacked cast
Easy to catch around the city this week

A manuscript that knows too much

Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway, and Josh Hartnett bring real glamour to this sleek mystery thriller about a ghostwriter who uncovers notes she was never meant to read. It is moody, stylish, and full of the kind of slow-building intrigue that makes you lean a little closer together in the dark. It is also the easiest film to catch this week, showing widely across the city.
