Based on a true story, Reality Winner (Emilia Jones) is a brilliant young misfit from a Texas border town who loves her pink gun almost as much as helping others. After teaching herself Arabic in high school so she can be of service in the Middle East, Reality is recruited by the Air Force but quickly becomes disillusioned when she finds her morals challenged. After transitioning to a money gig as an NSA contractor, Reality stumbles upon government secrets regarding Russia's election hacking during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Does she expose the truth or keep quiet? Ultimately, she decides to leak the truth leading to her trial and historic sentencing for espionage.

Though it tries to hit on some of the same points as “Reality” and broaden its scope, Fogel’s film ultimately sacrifices depth for breadth.

By the end of Fogel’s film, we’re left cold and distant from a story we should be angered with.

Guardian

As far as zeitgeisty nonfiction goes, Winner is one of the better ones, at once entertaining and illuminative.

Rated: 3/5

Above the Line

The bigger appeal may be the reteaming of Fogel and her Cat Person star Jones, who reunite for another humor-heavy look at something that, taken another way, could have been conceived entirely as a dark and dreary drama.

Rated: B

Would make more a home as a movie of the week on channels like Lifetime- but they’d make it more salacious and fun.

Rated: 4/10

Third Coast Review

It’s a surprisingly vibrant, heartfelt, human telling of Reality’s journey, and like all of the other tellings, it seems designed to make you very angry at the powers that be/are

Rated: 2.5/4
