undramatized
Kept plainly factual
Undramatized describes something presented without theatrical embellishment or emotional heightening.
An undramatized account sticks to plain facts without exaggeration: The documentary offered an undramatized look at daily life in the refugee camp.
The word often implies restraint or understatement where drama might be expected.
