“Fogel, working with a script by the journalist Kerry Howley, follows Winner from the age of nine to the aftermath of her plea, and organizes the movie around voice-over reminiscences by Reality (the character is played by Emilia Jones). […] With Reality [Winner]’s voice-overs doing the bulk of the dramatic work, the movie depends heavily on editing to keep the action moving visually, and “Winner” may well prove to be one of the best-edited movies this year.”
