Weekend Film Reviews: 'The Social Reckoning,' 'Musk'

<p dir="ltr">Billionaire tech CEOs are villainized in two big releases this week: The Social Reckoning, a dramatization of Mark Zuckerberg&rsquo;s showdown with a Facebook whistleblower, and Musk, a documentary about Elon Musk. Critics Amy Nicholson and Katie Walsh say that the films, while informative, turn unpleasant men into unpleasant viewing. Zuckerberg is portrayed before &ldquo;his bro-y makeover,&rdquo; Nicholson says, &ldquo;which is sort of sad for Jeremy Strong, who just plays him as this very uptight, solemn, serious, dour, humorless, miserable little man.&rdquo; According to Walsh, Musk is similarly grating in Musk, but she argues the film has at least some merit. &ldquo;I do think it&rsquo;s important that people know how much power he has,&rdquo; Walsh says. &ldquo;And how dumb he is.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
