Reality, written and directed by Tina Satter, is an American mystery-thriller film that premiered at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Film and Best Director.

The central theme of Reality revolves around the concept of a "glitch in the system." The director skillfully employs visual effects - more precisely, "glitches" - to challenge the notion of a "perfect" system or, in this case, to question the truthfulness of the film's narrative itself.

Satter deliberately censors essential information from the documents and dialogues in the film, forcing the audience to engage with the nar...
