Reality Winner

"It’s an involving, empathetic if one-sided portrait" 

"Like Kennebeck’s previous effort, 'Enemies of the State' the movie adopts the icy tone of a true-crime thriller, but 'United States vs. Reality Winner' is less expose than repudiation of a system that lacks the humanity to address the subtleties of her case." 

"That the documentary 'United States vs. Reality Winner' achieves its primary goals makes it a fairly successful film (...) That it achieves those goals while relying tediously on almost all of the genre's most overused formal devices (...) makes it a so-so film." 

"[It] is firmly pro-Winner, but never in a way that makes for a compelling defense (...) For anyone looking for an investigation into the larger issues raised by Winner’s case, you’ll be left wanting" 

"A stirring, smartly assembled film designed to provoke debate (...) Successfully blends a human story with insights into recent US politics" 

"Sonia Kennebeck’s documentary unpacks the circumstances surrounding its subject, but fails to crack her complexity." 

"A delicate balance of activism and whistleblowing (...) Kennebeck again has crafted an often riveting exploration of the state of national security
