Primeiras impressões de ‘o Outro Lado das Redes’ são positivas

Com estreia marcada para 8 de outubro, as primeiras impressões de ‘O Outro Lado das Redes’ (The Social Reckoning), sequência de ‘A Rede Social’, foram divulgadas e, em sua maioria, são favoráveis. O filme é descrito como uma “sequência sólida”, embora enfrente a sombra do clássico anterior.

Críticos observaram que, apesar de algumas falhas, o longa consegue apresentar uma crítica relevante ao estado atual das redes sociais. Um crítico mencionou que “há uma certa ironia em ‘O Outro Lado das Redes’ ser culpado justamente daquilo que critica”, destacando a ausência da “magia” de David Fincher e algumas atuações que deixaram a desejar. No entanto, considerou o filme “apenas ok”.

There’s an irony in #TheSocialReckoning being guilty of the very thing it’s criticising. Surely misses the Fincher magic and some of the acting is poor. All in all a shrug of a film. Like… ok. https://t.co/tKDq5KXs03

Outro comentário elogiou a obra, afirmando que não é apenas uma sequência sólida, mas uma crítica contundente ao fenômeno do “ragebait”, que provoca indignação. O crítico ressaltou a atuação de Mikey Madison e descreveu a performance de Jeremy Strong como “robótica”, o que foi considerado um elogio. O roteiro de Aaron Sorkin foi destacado como um ponto alto, mesmo que a direção não tenha sido tão impactante.

As someone who went into this as a complete skeptic, I’m delighted to say that Aaron Sorkin has proven me wrong. Not only is The Social Reckoning a solid sequel, it completely justifies its existence as a scathing indictment of the current tumultuous state of society in both the physical spaces and the digital ones. You hate ragebait? Well this film is the origin story of ragebait, and will leave you feeling furious once the credits roll. Meaty work form Mikey Madison. Robotic work form Jeremy Strong – and I say that positively. Jeremy Allen White gives a measured performance as Jeff Horwitz. The ending verges on corny and Sorkin’s writing is once again the hero ingredient comparatively to his direction, but I still came away from this very impressed. Full review to follow.

Uma análise apontou que, embora o filme não alcance o nível de ‘A Rede Social’, ele mantém o espectador envolvido até um clímax intenso. A construção narrativa foi elogiada como um complemento à abordagem anterior de Sorkin sobre o Facebook.

The Social Reckoning, while not the masterpiece that was The Social Network, still fully engaged me. A slow and steady build leads to a climax that suitably got my blood boiling. Hardly subtle, it works well as a companion piece to Aaron Sorkin’s prior look at Facebook. https://t.co/4AkZOqjrK1

Outro crítico expressou que gostou do filme, enfatizando a habilidade de Sorkin em criar roteiros e explorar temas relevantes, embora reconheça que não é tão impressionante quanto ‘A Rede Social’.

I actually liked The Social Reckoning, but that’s because Aaron Sorkin knows that filmmaking is ALL about the script and the cast, and he’s tackling a topic that’s just as interesting as the origins of Facebook. Maybe it’s no The Social Network, but it’s still very good.

Outras opiniões destacaram o filme como uma obra de drama jornalístico que examina as manipulações do Facebook, e que, apesar de não se limitar a reciclar a obra de 2010, apresenta um conteúdo que pode parecer datado.

THE SOCIAL RECKONING is an old-fashioned investigative journalism drama from Aaron Sorkin examining the dangers and manipulations of Facebook, as they prioritize profits over people at an alarming rate of growth. As usual with Sorkin, it moves at a good pace, plowing through facts and figures at a mile a minute while delivering colorful dialogue that occasionally makes you laugh, though mostly because you know there’s no world in which actual human beings, either online or in real life, would ever talk like this. Thankfully, the film doesn’t simply recycle what worked in the far superior 2010 film (Alexandre Desplat’s score is entirely original), allowing it to stand on its own. That doesn’t mean the comparisons will stop but the far greater problem is that what’s here is neither particularly interesting nor revelatory. The performances range from fine to mediocre, while the material feels like it’s arriving five years too late. An eye-rolling film with good intentions but will probably not receive many likes or re-shares.

Um crítico também fez uma observação sobre a escolha de comercializar o filme em associação com ‘A Rede Social’, o que pode ter elevado as expectativas. Apesar disso, reconheceu que o filme não é ruim, embora as comparações possam prejudicar sua recepção.

Aaron Sorkin’s #TheSocialReckoning is a pulse-pounding “All the President’s Men”-level tribute to the seemingly lost art of shoe-leather journalism that will make you want to quit Facebook. It also is a harsh assessment of Zuckerberg. https://t.co/PpDqazYB24

O elenco de ‘O Outro Lado das Redes’ conta com Jeremy Strong como Mark Zuckerberg, substituindo Jesse Eisenberg, além de Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Bill Burr, Wunmi Mosaku, Aidan Laprete, Kelley Pereira e Nelson Franklin. O longa, inspirado na série de artigos “The Facebook Files” de Jeff Horwitz, aborda os efeitos negativos do Facebook, especialmente em adolescentes, e discute a disseminação de desinformação e sua contribuição para a insurreição de 6 de janeiro de 2021 no Capitólio dos EUA.

O roteirista e diretor Aaron Sorkin buscou o “ângulo certo” para continuar a história, encontrando nova inspiração após os eventos de janeiro. As filmagens devem começar ainda este ano, em Vancouver, com produção de Todd Black, Peter Rice, Sorkin e Stuart Besser.

THE SOCIAL RECKONING is a compelling, thought-provoking piece of journalistic drama that Aaron Sorkin knows so well. Jeremy Strong is superb while White and Madison share great chemistry throughout. Not quite the level of Sorkin’s best, but increasingly and terrifyingly relevant https://t.co/acV82bm84k

THE SOCIAL RECKONING is a film that should never have been marketed in connection with THE SOCIAL NETWORK. It not only sets too high an expectation but also misrepresents this film. This is a political film that feels more in line with ‘The Newsroom’ than anything else. While Jeremy Allen White puts in a career best performance and Sorkin’s writing is on top form. Jeremy Strong’s Zuck feels like a caricature and weirdly one that I feel the film would greatly benefit from removing. This is by no means a bad movie but one heavily let down by the expectations that come from making a spiritual successor to one of the best biopics of all time.
