Reality, the acclaimed true crime drama described as "extraordinarily tense", is now streaming for free in the UK.
The 2023 film tells the real-life story of Reality Winner (Sydney Sweeney), a security analyst for the National Security Agency (NSA) who, in 2017, was accused of leaking state intelligence.
Directed and co-written by Tina Satter, who adapts her own stage play Is This a Room, the action follows Reality as she is confronted by FBI agents who begin their investigation in the suspect's house.
After being removed from Prime Video last weekend, Reality has already found a new streaming home in the UK, with the film available to view via Channel 4's on-demand service following its airing on Film4 on Thursday.
You still have a bit of time left to watch the crime drama as the film is not due to leave the service for another 28 days, meaning you have until Saturday 4 October to stream it.

If you need any more convincing, then look no further than the positive reviews, we at Digital Spy praised Sweeney's "astonishing central performance" in a film that we considered to be the best of her career up to that point.
Rotten Tomatoes seems to agree with us at least, with the film's near-perfect approval rating of 94% - attained from 105 reviews - being the highest mark in the actor's expanding career.
"Not only is Reality inventively mounted and extraordinarily tense, but it proves something we already knew deep down: that Sydney Sweeney is the real deal," noted IndieWire in their review.

"Satter’s handling of the material and Sweeney’s performance... bring this into a more intriguing space where questions of narrative truth, perception and the punishment for honesty are addressed," opined Little White Lies.
If biopics are more your thing than crime dramas, then Channel 4 may have you covered with Rocketman, a musical extravaganza which sees Taron Egerton take on the central role of legendary singer Elton John.
Reality is streaming on Channel 4 now.
