Sal D Very well performed piece on the FBI interrogation of Reality Leigh Winner based on recorded log. Film could have used a tiny boost of color, outside the log, into Reality pre- or post- interrogation and imprisonment. The sentence seems very harsh but if it was not, or even if was, some added flavor would have shaped this film into a 4 or 4+ star movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Sloth L Terrible! What a waste of my time. This should have been a news article at best. If a movie plot would have told us anything, it could have been interesting. FBI officer was awkward and very dry as the verbatim was boring and had no interest at all. The repetition and repeating that is was a voluntary search and interview made it seem like the detainment was not real, yet she wasn't allowed to go inside or care for her pets. Don't bother watching. The last footnotes before the credits say it all-leaked documents and consequences. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Boring. Bad acting. Pointless Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Harish N Sydney Sweeney delivers a powerful, mature performance in "Reality," a film based on the true story of NSA whistleblower Reality Winner. Sweeney's portrayal is undeniably captivating, and the film's reliance on dialogue creates a unique and initially engaging atmosphere. However, while Sydney Sweeney's acting elevates the material, the film itself struggles to maintain its initial momentum. The heavy focus on a single, extended conversation creates a sense of stagnancy. The story, while important, doesn't translate into the consistently thrilling experience one might hope for. Overall, "Reality" is worth watching for Sydney Sweeney's impressive work alone. Those interested in the subject matter may find it fascinating, but for viewers primarily seeking edge-of-your-seat tension, this film might leave something to be desired. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Stefan S Watched Tina Satter's feature film debut last night, a gripping intimate drama that basically only depicts the arrest of whistleblower Reality Winner in 2017 in real time. A minimalist work without a script. Only the unaltered original dialogue from the FBI audio recording was used. An ingenious cinematic solution was found for the blacked-out passages in the original FBI transcript. The extremely slow penetration of privacy and the emotional dissection of reality in slow-mo are almost painful to watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Dave C A tricky one to review in some ways, as it is a claustrophobic-feeling, singularly-focussed story built solely around the recorded conversation between Reality and the FBI Agents. It is supposed to be tense stuff, but that never really comes across. The energy and direction just feel lacking in the delivery. SS is compelling, but there just isn't much going on outside of her character, so any empathy you may feel dissipates pretty quickly. By the end, you just feel like you've watched an interview without feeling any of the significance to the event Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
