…offers a concerning, persuasive and stern ‘just the facts’ account of what its like to be young, female and disenfranchised…the story of Reality Winner couldn’t be more timely because it exposes the raw brand of misogyny injected into America’s core…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 7, 2024

The best of the Winner films so far, and more of a fully-formed biopic of Winner, and how she ended up where she did.

| Oct 11, 2024

The performance by Emelia Jones is a winner.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 26, 2024

A curiously hybrid film...its strangely jarring tonal shifts, while understandable as a creative choice, are, in the end, damaging to its overall impact.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 19, 2024

Overall, Winner is a humanizing portrayal of an American political figure who's been unfairly ridiculed—both for her name and her courage to fight against the system.

| Sep 18, 2024

Snappy and astute, this biopic about whistleblower Reality Winner takes a comical approach to a serious true story, which bracingly highlights the bigger underlying themes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 17, 2024

Winner struggles with the serio-comic tone chosen by Susanna Fogel and Reality Winner doesn’t feel real.

| Original Score: C | Sep 17, 2024

Susanna Fogel's surprisingly jovial bio-pic about the whistle-blower Reality Winner fills a conventional format with patriotic outrage.

| Sep 16, 2024

The title represents wishful thinking for this bland biopic, which insufficiently digs beneath the surface of its true-life headlines.

| Sep 13, 2024

Winner feels miscalculated in tone

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2024

Wherever you land on what Reality Winner did, the depiction of a single individual creating so much chaos is entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 13, 2024

Surprisingly cute and genuine for a film about leaking classified information.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 13, 2024

By the time Winner gets at its main point, the movie has already lost its way.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 13, 2024

Director Susanna Fogel's more comedic take on the scandal is a refreshing and welcomed entry into the Reality Winner cinematic universe.

| Sep 12, 2024

“Winner,” a sweeping biopic that presents [Reality] as something like an American Girl doll for the “I’m not like other girls” set.

| Sep 12, 2024

Winner may be considered inappropriate subject matter for a comedy, but it ends up worth watching for Emilia Jones’s performance alone.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 12, 2024

What it lacks is more of a reason to exist beyond being able to point fingers while providing moderate entertainment.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 12, 2024

Probably Fogel’s best film to date, and I personally thought Jones was better in this movie than she was even in the Best Picture winner, CODA.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 12, 2024

A flat understanding of the subject’s life and choices.

| Original Score: C | Sep 11, 2024

Susanna Fogel’s “Winner” examines how a young, idealistic woman from Texas came to be regarded as a traitor to her country. Using sardonic humor throughout, Kerry Howley’s script drills deep into the titular character’s past.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2024
