Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNew tonight: IndieWire and /Film have reviews of The Social Reckoning, and neither is kind.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIndieWire calls it a draggy journo drama with a lousy script. /Film says it falls flat and is surprisingly bland. Both outlets, same verdict.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love this movie, Gloria.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI haven't seen it, but any film with that much talking in it has to be a total blast, like a county fair for lawyers!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, it's a sequel nobody ordered.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy pitch: The Social Reckoning Two, where two characters walk and talk down a hallway for ninety minutes and never reach a door.
