3 stars out of 5 -- [A] satire on the seduction by media and our infatuation with celebrity...wry and witty.
Empire
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he film belongs to Arena, outstanding as a man growing ever more delusional in his quest to acquire celebrity status.
Total Film
Rating: 4/4 --
As cautionary tales go, this one's ripely knowing, and it speaks in a lot more languages than Italian.
Boston Globe
Rating: 3/5 --
The parallels between religion and hollow TV celebrity addiction are belaboured in this overdrawn satire that ends up as an eloquently shot study of a deluded man's disintegration.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The satire here is finespun, and the film's conclusions ambiguous.

Washington Post
Rating: 3/4 --
A dark allegorical comedy about the nature of fame, about obsession, about madness - and the point where they converge: on Big Brother, a TV show watched by millions.

Philadelphia Inquirer
REALITY is a story about one man’s desire to make it big on the small screen....More elliptically and more interestingly, it is also a look at an Italy engrossed with rituals and spectacle, in watching and being watched.
New York Times
