Based on true events

Saturday afternoon, June 3, 2017. Twenty-five year old Reality Winner is confronted at her home by the FBI. A cryptic conversation begins and soon Reality's life starts to unravel. With all dialogue taken directly from the FBIs transcript of the interrogation alternately nail-biting and banal, darkly funny and surreal we track one woman's experience of the U.S. government at work. And as more details of Realitys life are revealed and more armed men arrive, a complex portrait emerges of an American millennial, yoga teacher, and veteran under siege.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

On the 3rd of June 2017, the film introduces a twenty-five-year-old named Reality (Sydney Sweeney). One day, Reality comes home after picking up a few groceries and is surprised to find two FBI agents waiting for her outside her home. Both men present their identification, state their names- Agent Garrick (Josh Hamilton) and Agent Taylor (Marchánt Davis)- and reveal that they have a search warrant for her home. Reality is stumped as to why both FBI agents would want to search her home, but they explain the reason relates to possible mishandling of classified information. While the FBI prepare for further discussions, small talk occurs with Reality. We discover that Reality lives independently, apart from her animals which she adores. She has health commitments to yoga, an Air Force background and the ability to speak multiple languages. All these questions asked by the FBI agents feel uncomfortable for Reality, but she co-operates with the two agents. We also understand more about Reality’s job as a Farsi translator, where she must overlook many documents every day. Soon Reality is invited to an empty room in her home with only the two agents present to continue questioning her while other agents continue to search her home. The question is, did Reality leak classified information? Reality is based on a true story and actual events. The film acknowledges its source of information, helping them keep the movie as factual as possible. The audience is told that “…the FBI documented the following events with an audio recorder. The dialogue in this movie is taken entirely from the transcript of that very recording”. The film is also clever, and at various times it will cut to the audio recording to reduce stimulus while viewers form their opinion at crucial moments. Actual photographs of Reality and the events that took place all in one day are also revealed. Personally, this is a storyline that I needed to familiarise myself with. From the opening, where the FBI introduced themselves to Reality, who seemed surprised by the visit, I found myself curious to find what was happening and whether Reality had any dark secrets. The location for the vast majority is within one room, and the film is dialogue heavy. Despite this, I did not feel bored or disinterested, and instead, I was surprised when the credits began rolling down my screen as the runtime was not even noticed. Overall, if you don't know the actual story surrounding Reality Winner, please experience this film for yourself without knowing anything. While the film is set in one location for the majority, I found myself extremely invested and highly engaged due to the film’s style and story, and I felt like I was watching the real thing unfold before me. Sydney Sweeney’s performance as Reality was excellent in all areas, and I was so engaged that I didn’t feel the runtime at all. Reality is a dramatic film filled with many twists and turns. It’s even more uncomfortable when viewers learn it’s all based on actual events. * This review has been written for Sanity.
