As Sydney Sweeney stepped into the year 2023, she decided to take the film industry by storm. The 25-year-old is starring in more than ten projects, but the first one to release this year is her long-awaited biopic Reality. The film has been in the news since the time it was announced and, moreover, because of its interesting subject. Recently, the director of the film, Tina Satter, opened up about her experience with Sweeney.

Apparently, Satter is making her big-screen direction debut with Reality. Before this, she had largely worked as a playwright and a theater director. However, she felt that the story of Reality Winner should reach a wider audience, so decided to create a film. Luckily, Sweeney fit the parameters Satter wanted in the actor who would portray Winner.

Satter revealed that she had an elaborate Zoom call with Sweeney before they started working on Reality. Recalling that, she told People, “She was this really smart person who really understood the role and was a pleasure to talk to.” 

The director also said that having the opportunity to work closely with an intelligent and fast-thinking individual like Sweeney was extraordinary for her. Satter said that the 25-year-old can effortlessly handle challenging situations, and it truly left her in a state of admiration.

While the cast and crew seemed to have worked hard on the film, what is this biopic all about?

The Sydney Sweeney starrer tells the unique story of an FBI interrogation

The biopic takes us back to the case of the NSA whistleblower Reality Winner, who was accused of leaking classified information. As a result of this, two FBI officers visited Winner to interrogate her about the same. The interactions between Winner and FBI agents who visited her residence happened on June 3, 2017.

Reality is based on actual events and features dialogue directly taken from the transcript of their gripping and tense conversation. Director Satter has already done a play called ‘Is This a Room’ on the same subject, hence she is well versed in the subject.

Though the film saw its grand premiere at Berlinale, the makers decided to keep yet another special screening in New York. The film is officially releasing on May 29. Let us see if Sweeney is as brilliant as Satter has described her.
