After winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her starring role in Anora, Mikey Madison returns to theaters in The Social Reckoning as whistleblower Frances Haugen. Madison’s character makes the decision to be at odds with her employer Facebook and its founder played by Jeremy Strong, and along the way turns to a Wall Street Journal reporter played by Jeremy Allen White. It looks to be a heavy, grounded film with talented heavy hitters to remind audiences to hold these digital platforms accountable for the real life implications on human lives.
