Reality

Having access to secret things that should be known, presenting opportunities, when you're alone, to print out, stuff down your clothes, specifically, your pantyhose, then send it off to those, who get your cover blown; it all leads to a tense visit from the boys, who at school must have resented those with toys, as all they love is the pursuit, of those they want to prosecute, probing, intimidate, is how they get their joys; so the service you've performed to wake, enlighten, ends up with a noose that's subtly gets tightened, then your cast into a cell, it's quite a long time (by some distance) that you dwell, but those with a sense of right, will surely fight on.

Sydney Sweeny is outstanding, absolutely brilliant, as the persecuted Reality Winner who did the right thing.

Reality loses a little of it's sparkle on film but is still a gripping well made drama. The main trio of the cast Sydney Sweeney, Josh Hamilton & Marchant Davis are all excellent and play their parts well.

Sydney Sweeney shows she is one to watch and with the right material can go on to do big things. Her upcoming appearance for Marvel will surely elevate her to superstardom, here's hoping she can continue to throw in a few more movies of this size as well.

Josh Hamilton does great and continues to appear in interesting movies without getting the recognition he deserves. He is very underrated.

Reality is a good movie of a great stage play and well worth the time. It is thought-provoking and worth the price of admission alone to know that there is someone on this earth called Reality Winner.

"Reality" immerses viewers in a gripping tale, a reflection of the moment when the FBI descends upon Reality Winner, a former Air Force translator, with a search warrant in hand. While the general knowledge of Winner's deeds is widely known, I shall refrain from divulging the film's revelatory essence to preserve the enigma. "Reality" abstains from taking a definitive stance on Winner's actions, leaving room for subjective interpretation (although many may find themselves sympathetic to her motives, if not her methods). The fate of the actual Reality Winner remains shrouded until the film's unveiling. This introspective drama hinges entirely on the power of dialogue and the nuances of human reactions, demanding exceptional performances. Sydney Sweeney, in what could be deemed a career-defining portrayal, masterfully embodies Reality. Embracing a role devoid of glamour, Sweeney effortlessly exudes a profound vulnerability, an often-underappreciated skill in actors. As Reality's understanding of her situation deepens, her transformation becomes increasingly believable. "Reality" refrains from passing judgment, instead meticulously presenting the events and their unfolding. The stellar performances of the two central leads elevate the narrative, infusing it with exceptional authenticity. The weight of tension grips you from the outset, immersing you in a palpable atmosphere. Patience is a virtue required, for those seeking swift gratification may find themselves unfulfilled. Sydney and Josh deserve commendation for their captivating portrayals, leaving an indelible impression. Ultimately, the veil lifts, offering an insight into the FBI's interrogation techniques. A peculiar yet effective approach unfolds, as they seek not a straightforward confession but rather a manipulative dance of intimidation. The film unveils the inner workings of such interrogations, leaving you with a disconcerting awareness. Among the finest performances of the year, "Reality" presents a riveting and gripping experience. Personally, I found myself captivated, fascinated by its enigmatic allure. If you yearn for adrenaline-pumping action and violence, this may not satisfy your desires. However, I truly recommend it because it deserves a deep endorsement.

This movie only having a 6.6 average rating feels criminally low to me. This is how I wish more movies based on real events took place. Using the actual transcript, so there's no room for dramatization or fluff. The acting is fantastic, and at under 90 minutes I felt more tension with this movie than most Hollywood action blockbusters. I fear it will be overlooked, but it's a must watch that requires almost no time investment. If not exactly, it's pretty much shown in real time as the actual interrogation took place. I would love any recommendations in the replies of other films based on true events that use factual evidence of what was said and took place in its making.

I really enjoy when an actor who is labeled a hot chick "heartthrob" (Sydney Sweeney), comes out and nails a lead role in a feature like this. She knocks the ball out of the park on this one. I would recommend this to fans of hers or high level acting in general.

This film is essentially a one setting play (with some flashbacks). It's filmed in a way where you feel like you're there just watching the events. It's definitely not for everyone, and the overall plot is very basic and not something I'm particularly interested in (Russian BS/politics), but I didn't watch for that.

This film is good at driving tension, slowly and unfolding, almost backwards the events that did, in fact occur. If you enjoy good acting, watch it!
