"If you think Sydney Sweeney can't act, please watch Immaculate and Reality. Both super interesting films with brilliant performances by her," wrote one person.

Another hit out: "Anyone saying Sydney Sweeney can't act needs to watch REALITY, stat."

"If you think Sydney Sweeney cant act you need to watch Reality I'm sorry there was no reason for a movie like that to be good and its solely because of her performance," exclaimed a third.

While a fourth said that this was the 'the reality of females these days and how toxic they can be to other females'.

And a final X user echoed: "I don't really understand the hate and weirdness around Sydney Sweeney.

"She is a great actor, period. Really loved her work in Reality (yes, that's the name of the movie) and I was waiting to see her in another starring role and omfg has she knocked it out of the park with this one."

Reality is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.
