Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Reckoning” has been unveiled to members of the film press, who are calling the follow-up to “The Social Network” a “solid sequel,” “a harsh assessment of [Mark] Zuckerberg” and “a scathing indictment of the current tumultuous state of society.”

Early reactions, with full reviews coming ahead of this weekend’s theatrical release, range from positive to mixed among critics who saw the timely drama early.
