Natalia Winkelman New York Times Who is Reality Winner? This documentary doesn’t dig deeper than her patently well-meaning exterior. Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Jacob Silverman The New Republic United States v. Reality Winner explores profound questions of secrecy, whistleblowing and justice. Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Eric Kohn indieWire With a hodgepodge of testimonies from her family and a sturdy timeline of the events at hand, "United States vs. Reality Winner" consolidates the anger over her fate by the people who understand it best. Rated: B Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Traitor or hero? While there isn’t any “new” information shed that isn’t already accessible on Google, whistleblower Reality Winner speaks, for the first time, in this thought-provoking, self-titled exposé. Rated: 3/5 Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Vital, illuminating and enraging. A powerful wake-up call to the harsh truth that we're living in a very dysfunctional democracy. Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn The film might not hook every viewer, but plenty will be able to find a powerful and important message that needs to be shared and highlighted.

Steve C A tragic and hopeful account of a beautiful soul and the persecution and prosecution she endured/endures for doing her best to serve the American people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Jos R La mejor deja mucha enseñansa Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Liana S Wow, this film is very thrilling and makes us tense Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Justin T One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Reality Winner. Everyone should know her name. She selflessly gave up five years of her life for exposing the truth by "leaking" ONE classified NSA document about Russian interference in the 2016 election (as opposed to #Trump's cache of 300, some containing nuclear secrets) She did HARD time. The 2018 and 2020 elections were the most secure in US history in large part due to her disclosure. The director, Sonia Kennebeck did a superb job. Please support this wonderful film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review chip a She engaged in criminal activity. Glorification of sedition. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review America F The Durham report offers more insight to what really happened Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
