What the film is examining
The Social Reckoning has not opened in Malaysia yet. This site's listings show GSC and TGV as the chains that have announced the film.
Malay Mail reports that the film is debuting internationally from Wednesday and follows Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz during the 2021 Facebook Files controversy. Malay Mail says Aaron Sorkin’s film focuses on Facebook’s refusal to fact-check political advertisements before the 2020 US elections and presents Mark Zuckerberg as a Silicon Valley overlord. Sorkin told AFP and other entertainment journalists that it is a whistleblower and newspaper story, adding that he explores Zuckerberg’s motives less than in The Social Network. Malay Mail also reports that the script underwent legal review and that Sorkin re-shot two scenes.
