even though I do prefer reality (2023) this is quite enjoyable! emilia jones is just soo incredible plus i cheered everytime my faves kathryn newton & danny ramirez appeared 🙂↔️
WINNER tells the true story of Reality Winner with a bouncy light touch. Vastly different than the Sydney Sweeney film “Reality.” Emilia Jones continues to astound with her range while Zach Galifianakis is quite affecting in his few scenes. Entertaining, sure, but too slight given its subject and material.
in america it's a crime to be a funny girl with principles
Emilia Jones is great as always but Reality (2023) > Winner (2024)
Reality, eine sprachbegabte Außenseiterin aus Texas, hat seit Kindestagen einen starken Gerechtigkeitsdrang. Dieser wird ihr schließlich zum Verhängnis, als sie nachrichtendienstliche Informationen zur russischen Einflussnahme auf den US-Wahlkampf 2016 an The Intercept weitergibt.
Welche Person kann schon von sich behaupten, dass innerhalb eines Jahres zwei Filme über sie erschienen sind, deren Titel zusammen ihren vollen Vor- und Nachnamen ergeben? Die Geschichte der Whistleblowerin Reality Winner, die geheime Informationen über den russischen Einfluss auf die US-Wahl 2016 weiterleitete, wird nun mit „Winner“ zum zweiten Mal innerhalb eines Jahres filmisch verarbeitet.
In „Reality“ wurde die Hausdurchsuchung und Befragung durch das FBI mit unveränderten Originaldialogen nachgestellt, wobei Sidney Sweeney die Hauptrolle übernahm. „Winner“ hingegen ist ein konventionelles Biopic, das Reality Winners Lebensgeschichte erzählt.…
So clearly some of the details of the politics and the case feel rather skimmed over just a bit, the characters increasingly come into their own in a big way, with Zach Galifianakis providing a surprising amount of soulfulness and Connie Britton showing Billie’s steely side. This makes up for a lot of energy in the script with great casting.
So for me wherever you land on what Reality Winner did, the serious dedication of this wild depiction shining through a single individual creating so much chaos is entertaining! This really is surprisingly cute and very genuine for a film about leaking classified information.
Same one as the prequel, "Reality":
The FBI stops by around dinner,
Recording Reality Winner.
With her cat and dog,
They ask her to log,
What she took off of that printer.
well…it was no reality starring sydney sweeney and i’ll leave it at that…
Curious; disturbing; funny; predictable; sad; uneven; well-cast; well-paced.
After watching Tina Satter’s “Reality,” a film that uniquely approached NSA translator Reality Winner’s arrest for leaking classified documents, it’s off putting coming to Susanna Fogel’s conventional take on the same story. As opposed to “Reality,” which focused solely on the moment when agents arrived at Winner's home, a framing that invited tense, claustrophobic set pieces, Forgel’s “Winner” predictably spans much of the translator’s life. The result is the kind of accessible, crowd-pleasing dramedy that has become a dreaded Sundance calling card. [full capsule review via RogerEbert]
