Fans of Sydney Sweeney have only a short window left to watch her critically acclaimed film Reality before it departs from Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.
The intense thriller, released in 2023, is based on the true story of Reality Winner, a U.S. intelligence specialist accused of leaking classified government information.
Directed and co-written by Tina Satter, who first adapted the story for the stage in her play Is This a Room, the film brings an unflinching realism to the tense standoff between Winner and FBI agents inside her own home. Critics widely praised Sweeney’s nuanced performance, with many calling it the most compelling role of her career.
Prime Video has confirmed that Reality will be removed from its platform on Sunday, August 31, leaving fans with just over a day to stream the film before it becomes unavailable.
Reviews for Reality were overwhelmingly positive. Digital Spy praised Sweeney for her “magnetic screen presence,” while IndieWire called her performance proof that she is “the real deal.” RogerEbert.com described the film as “impressive and unnerving,” and Empire highlighted its minimalist yet gripping style.
Currently holding a 94 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, Reality stands as Sweeney’s highest-rated project to date.
Alongside this removal, Prime Video also plans to take down In the Heart of the Sea, starring Cillian Murphy, next month. Fans of both stars may want to add these films to their watchlists before the clock runs out.
