Reality

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.

A very entertaining and well done movie. Easily a nine.

Syd Sweeney does an incredible job as Reality. She can really act. Whether it's White Lotus or Euphoria or Reality she brings believability to her roles. It is very refreshing to see actresses get good roles and opportunities the play complex characters.

The movie is very well done; it uses the actual tapes of her interview by the FBI. There are only 3 main characters in the movie and it is the interaction between them that gives the movie its good pace. I was surprised it was about an hour long because you are completely caught up in the story you don't realize how much time has passed.

The direction was also very good. Pay attention to positions everyone has when she is being interviewed.

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.

This movie is an almost verbatim re-enactment of an FBI transcript.

These reviews seem to fall into two camps. People who accept moral ambiguity and those who want a clear cinematic delineation between good and evil.. Reality (her real name) is neither a crusading whistleblower nor a traitor, but a woman who'd serve honorably in the U. S. Air Force and becomes increasingly tormented by conscience,. The FBI agents are neither shining knights or cruel thugs but highly trained actors playing FBI agents (well -trained actors themselves) trying to tease out the truth.

In any case, all the characters are real human beings, not movie heros or villains.

The tension IS a slow build, but relentless.

People who want a slam bang action film with clearly obvious good guys versus bad guys, whether Reality OR FBI agents, and virtue triumphing over evil, are going to be sorely disappointed (as shown by the reviews) .

People who want a binary film experience should avoid this brilliant film at all costs.

Those fascinated by the fuzziness of profound moral dilemmas should rush out to see this film as soon as possible.

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.
