Highlight of the week The Social Verdict By Aaron Sorkin, with Jeremy Allen White, Mickey Madison, Jeremy Strong USA, 2026, 115 min. In 2010, Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay for David Fincher's film, The Social Network, about the origins of Facebook. Over the course of a decade, which seems to have lasted longer due to the world having “closed down” to respond to a global pandemic, the investigation carried out by the Wall Street Journal went almost entirely unnoticed outside America. Leading it was journalist Jeff Horwitz (played by Jeremy Allen White, whose image suggests a composite of Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford in All the President's Men, by Alan J. Pakula, about the Watergate scandal), starting from a whistleblower report by data scientist Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), who provided him with all the information before leaving Mark Zuckerberg's company (Jeremy Strong). The series of articles published, known by the designation The Facebook Files, established a relationship between the dependency developed by social networks and the radicalization of a significant portion of users, who ended up interacting with extremists, in groups of the aforementioned social network, such as those behind the attack on the Capitol in 2021. Aaron Sorkin's quintessence will always be that of a screenwriter, renowned for the high cadence of very particular dialogues, according to the nature of the universe and the themes addressed. In The Social Verdict, Sorkin explores the differences in background between Horwitz and Haugen, making the journalist a reflection of the viewer himself, who constantly runs after understanding the jargon of someone who intellectually inhabits a parallel universe to ours, whose programming language and the reach determined by the algorithm establish an ascendancy over our lives that we are far from fully knowing.
