Entertaining whistleblower story offers strong performances, few insights
Whether you think she’s a traitor or a hero, you can’t argue that Reality Winner’s story is the stuff of Hollywood screenplays. Last year HBO premiered Reality, a docudrama based on a 2022 play that featured actual dialogue from FBI transcripts. Now Winner, a fictionalized, far less serious but no less entertaining take on the young woman’s story drops on streaming services. The picture may be a bit too blithe for its own good, but if you’re at all fascinated by Winner–and it’s hard not to be–you should give it a watch.
