Sydney Sweeney Shines in Gripping 'Reality' Film.
"Reality," a new docudrama starring Sydney Sweeney as Reality Winner, tells the story of the former U.S. Air Force linguist who was arrested and imprisoned under the 1917 Espionage Act for leaking a top-secret report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Directed by Tina Satter, the film strips the political context from Winner's story to focus on the social dynamics of her first FBI interrogation. Satter skillfully evokes tension from a minimal set, and Sweeney delivers a watchful and charming performance as Winner.
