Reality

A good example of how the american police and federal officers have become a bunch of fascists. Breaching basic human rights and violating all norms of investigation, an insurrection in search of a crime. Supposed FBI agents violate every know norm for crime scene policy, blatantly ignoring the law at every turn. One can only imagine how the cases of Assange and Snowdon were tainted by these bastards. They will stop at nothing to further their crimes against humanity. How many people in the US have been railroad by bogus crimes into prisons in the US, which has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Democracy my arse. More like rule by violent dictators.

WOW, this movie, if I can call it that, has no entertainment value whatsoever. The conversations are boring. The FBI people are annoying. Why make a movie about this? Just hearing it on the news should have been enough. Sydney Sweeney is a great actress but there's nothing here. Everybody else's acting is horrible. On top of that they had no material for the script so there are conversations about a cat, about the dog, then the cat again, then the dog again. I couldn't believe it. Are FBI agents really that stupid? This is trying to make a big story out of nothing at all. I hope Sweeney gets hired for better, real movies in the future because this was a total waste of talent.

Reality was in reality, not a good film. The way it was filmed was annoying to follow throughout. The weird cadence of their conversation and the awkward pauses and things that were being said. A very boring and slow build up to an ultimately underwhelming story and result. It wasn't worth the watch or the ride. The acting was decent and production was alright but that doesn't change the fact that the story just isn't exciting. I'd avoid this movie knowing what I know now. Don't believe all of the 8-9 star reviews on this. Those people are stupid just like this entire movie was. Waste of my time.

Reality: The story of Reality Leigh Winner, an NSA contacter who leaked information proving that Russian Intelligence had interfered in the 2016 US Presidential Election. Frustrated by seeing the reality being denied on Fox TV her tipping point was when Trump sacked FBI Director Comey. Ironically this led to her arrest by the FBI and prosecution. In spite of findings by a Senate Committee that her leak was in the public interest, Reality was sentenced to six years in prison. The film is based on the FBI interrogation transcript which was recorded on the day of her arrest, interspersed with posts from her Instagram account and TV news footage. Reality is played by Sydney Sweeney. The transcript comes to life as Reality is confronted by FBI agents, the first two playing good cops, who tell they realise that she just made a mistake, show concern for her animals, chat about cross training. A Master Class in how to get a confession when you haven't advised a suspect of their rights, just having a chat. There are some comic scenes, a cat being under the bed where Reality keeps a gun, another cat observing developments whilst seated in a child's pedal car across the street. But the tension builds as the agents get Reality to talk, I knew the outcome but the narrative still unfolds like a thriller. Well worth watching. Directed by Tina Satter, from a screenplay by Satter and James Paul Dallas. It is based on the play which Satter previously staged as Is This a Room. 8/10.
