'''''Reality''''' is a 2023 American [[crime drama film]] directed by [[Tina Satter]], from a screenplay by Satter and James Paul Dallas. It is based on the FBI interrogation transcript of American intelligence leaker [[Reality Winner]], which Satter previously staged as the play ''Is This a Room''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Meyer |first=Dan |title=Sydney Sweeney to Star in IS THIS A ROOM Movie |url=https://www.theatrely.com/post/sydney-sweeney-to-star-in-is-this-a-room-movie |website=Theatrely |date=June 9, 2022 |access-date=17 December 2022 |archive-date=December 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218000101/https://www.theatrely.com/post/sydney-sweeney-to-star-in-is-this-a-room-movie |url-status=live}}</ref> It stars [[Sydney Sweeney]] as Winner, with [[Josh Hamilton (actor)|Josh Hamilton]] and [[Marchánt Davis]] in supporting roles.

''Reality'' premiered at the [[73rd Berlin International Film Festival]] on February 18, 2023, and was released on May 29, 2023, by [[HBO Films]]. It has received critical acclaim, with praise for Satter's direction and Sweeney's performance.

==Plot==

On May 9, 2017, [[Reality Winner]] watches [[Fox News]] coverage on the [[Dismissal of James Comey|firing]] of [[James Comey]] by President [[Donald Trump]] on the TV at her office. 25 days later, on June 3, Winner returns home from grocery shopping, where she is confronted by [[FBI agent]]s Taylor and Garrick, who explain they have a [[search warrant|warrant to search]] her house and her belongings. As a team of agents arrive and begin searching the house, Winner engages in casual conversation with the agents, all of which is picked up by recording device, the transcript of which forms the basis of the film's dialogue. During the early portion of the recording, Winner expresses concern for her ~~pet~~ dog's and cat's safety during the search.

Winner agrees to speak with Taylor and Garrick in an empty, disused bedroom in her house. Garrick and Taylor start to ~~question~~ask ~~Winner asking~~her about the specifics of her work. She explains, besides working as a [[yoga]] instructor and [[CrossFit]] trainer, she is a [[~~Farsi~~Persian language|Persian]] translator for a [[government contractor]] and is hoping to be deployed to Afghanistan as a translator so her fluency in [[Pashto]] can be better utilized. The agents eventually reveal they are questioning Winner ~~regarding~~about the recent leak of [[classified information|classified]] government documents to an online publication. Winner initially denies knowledge, but over the course of an hour is eventually compelled to confess she printed and leaked a document from the [[National Security Agency]]'s database. The film initially redacts specifics of the leak, as is done in the transcript, ~~but~~by ithaving isthe ~~eventually~~characters briefly disappear when saying redacted phrases—but in a [[fourth wall]]-breaking sequence Winner forcefully ends the redactions, revealing to the ~~revealed~~audience that the documents ~~revealed~~provided proof of [[Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections]] and the publication was ''[[The Intercept]]'', which had put out a call for evidence of Russian interference.

Winner denies wishing to be a [[whistleblower]] or to undermine the intelligence community à la [[Edward Snowden]], instead ~~expressing~~saying she ~~wished for~~wanted the American public to have the same information the government had ~~regarding~~about the election. As the interrogation wraps up, she chiefly expresses concern for her pets as she realizes she will be taken into custody. She is escorted out of her house and ~~[[handcuff]]ed~~handcuffed, as footage is shown of media reports ~~regarding~~about the leak. Winner receives both praise and criticism for her actions, with some accusing her of colluding with the Middle East or denying the veracity of the leaks altogether. Some outlets criticize ''The Intercept'' for allowing the leak to be traced ~~back~~ to Winner, and others theorize that Winner's disproportionate punishment was designed to discourage potential whistleblowers.

A textual epilogue explains that Winner was denied [[bail]] and charged under the [[Espionage Act of 1917|Espionage Act]]. She spent four years in jail and will remain on [[supervised release]] until November 2024. It notes that the same document Winner leaked was later used on the [[United States Senate|Senate]] floor as evidence of Russian interference.

Wallace Taylor and Justin C. Garrick, who interrogated her over the course of an hour in an unused room in the house.<ref name="intercept">{{cite news|last=Timm|first=Trevor|url=https://theintercept.com/2018/06/02/reality-winner-whistleblower-without-constituency/|title=Whatever You Think of the Trump-Russia Investigation, Whistleblower Reality Winner Deserves Your Support|date=June 2, 2018|website=[[The Intercept]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143826/https://theintercept.com/2018/06/02/reality-winner-whistleblower-without-constituency/|archive-date=June 12, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

Tina Satter turned the interrogation transcript into the [[Documentary theatre|verbatim theatre]] performance ''Is This a Room'' (based on the transcript quote "Is this a room? Is that a room?" spoken in the film by an FBI agent played by John Way), which premiered at [[The Kitchen (performance venue)|The Kitchen]] in 2019 before an extended [[off-Broadway]] run at the [[Vineyard Theatre]] later that year. The production starred Emily Davis as Winner, with Pete Simpson and TL Thompson as the interrogators, and [[Becca Blackwell]] as "Unknown Male", a classification in the transcript for dialogue from multiple FBI agents who were inspecting Winner's house during the interrogation.<ref>{{cite web |last=Millward |first=Tom |title=Is This A Room extends limited run at Vineyard Theatre |url=https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/is-this-a-room-extends-limited-run-at-vineyard-theatre |website=New York Theatre Guide |date=October 25, 2019 |access-date=17 December 2022 |archive-date=December 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218000051/https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/is-this-a-room-extends-limited-run-at-vineyard-theatre |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Kraine |first=Daniel |title=Tina Satter Unlocks the Drama of an FBI Transcript |url=https://extendedplay.thecivilians.org/tina-satter-talks-is-this-a-room/ |website=[[The Civilians|Extended Play]] |date=February 18, 2020 |access-date=27 February 2023}}</ref> The play premiered on Broadway at the [[Lyceum Theatre (Broadway)|Lyceum Theatre]] on October 10, 2021, and closed on November 27, 2021.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Harms |first=Talaura |title=Is This A Room and Dana H.

David Rooney of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' praised the transition from the minimalist set design of ''Is This a Room'' to the film's realistic recreation of Winner's house, noting "Satter shows unfaltering command of the medium for a first-time film director", highlighting the use of the closeup as a direct translation of the play's surreal storytelling.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Rooney |first=David |title='Reality' Review: Sydney Sweeney Is Devastating as Reality Winner in Taut Thriller Shaped from FBI Transcript |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/reality-review-sydney-sweeney-reality-winner-1235325377/ |magazine=The Hollywood Reporter |date=February 18, 2023 |access-date=20 February 2023 |archive-date=February 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230220052136/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/reality-review-sydney-sweeney-reality-winner-1235325377/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
