Reviewer notes
Recommended**_Take a smiling bow and exit_** A 30-years old man living in an idyllic community off the coast of America (Jim Carrey) wants to leave the isle but his efforts curiously seem hindered. What’s going on? “The Truman Show” (1998) is a drama/fantasy/satire helmed by Peter Weir and costarring Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich and Natascha McElhone. It’s entertaining enough and there are some worthy psyc...
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersDirected by Peter Weir and starring Jim Carrey in a career-defining role, the film tells the story of Truman Burbank, a man living unknowingly in a reality TV show. This premise alone sets it apart in cinematic history. Truman felt real, relatable, and honestly, just amazing. What makes this movie special is how unique the story is. Back in 1998, the idea of someone’s life being filmed without them knowing was ...
RecommendedIf you think Simon Cowell is a television control freak, just meet "Christof" (Ed Harris) who built an huge great dome you can see from space, populated by dozens of ever-changing actors all so the ever-curious world can follow the life of one man. "Truman Burbank" (Jim Carrey) has lived what he considers to be a perfectly normal, trouble-free, life that has led him to his currently, happily married, status with "...
RecommendedHow the heck did they make so much money off advertisements?!
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersSeen this one numerous times, including in the theater, and still holds up so well, and is engrossing from beginning to end. It was the first time seeing how versatile Jim Carrey was. Just a great all around movie. **4.5/5**
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersSuch a well executed plot. So much fun to watch. Jim Carrey, an actor I always enjoying watching, is terrific in the lead as Truman - he kills every moment, very much the perfect person to play this role. Laura Linney (Hannah), Ed Harris (Christof) and Noah Emmerich (Louis) are the best of the rest, while Paul Giamatti (Simeon) even appears. <em>'The Truman Show'</em> is one of those films that I've heard a ...
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersIn a world experimenting with big brother reality shows and questioning what is real in a mtrix kind of way, The Truman Show is a splendid and well executed movie about a man owned by a corporation from birth, who lives on the set while not being aware of the fact that everything around him is fake. Brilliant Jim Carey.
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersOn the surface, The Truman Show is about a man who has lived his life trapped inside of a bubble. He tries the entire movie to pop the bubble, and he eventually does. Under that layer, though, is a complex theme. Does Truman really enjoy his cell? He seemed to for years. At the same time, he struggled with memories, but don't we all? As the viewer, we're left to determine the morality of the happiness of mil...
RecommendedTruman...One of my favourite films. It's just hilarious. The whole concept that this man thinks he is living in the real world. Very well done to the Director and Writers!
RecommendedTrusted family reviewers**"The Truman Show"** dares to question the reality. It's original, complex, and philosophical. It manages to make you feel truly frustrated and **claustrophobic**. Perhaps many of us can relate to Truman as we live in a time of routines. We often live our lives without giving a second thought to the simplicity and meaninglessness of life itself. Our limited perspectives keep us from seeing. The lies we are to...
