Original screenplays like this are a rarity. Truly an iconic film. There is nothing like it. It's not perfect though, they could have done more with the characters surrounding Truman. Especially the secret woman.

The most happy horror movie of all time. The crew are horrible at their jobs.

The casting of Jim Carrey was equal parts genius and unfortunately flawed. In the 90's a certain audience had built around seeing the newest Jim Carrey movie, of course expecting his usual brilliant comedic material. This type of audience was unprepared for this movie and apparently (looking at the current user score average of 6.7) they still are. This is unfortunate because this movie is brilliant. Jim Carrey is brilliant. The Direction, writing and score are masterclasses. This is the greatest performance of Ed Harris' career and obviously that is saying something. He is absolutely mesmerizing as God/Christof. Last but not least is Phillip Glass' masterpiece Truman Sleeps. A gorgeous piano score that is beautifully used to character building perfection. Im not kidding even the background/extras direction is a masterclass in filmmaking. Also note its under 2 hour runtime. Any more would be bloated. Any less diminishment. Watch this movie. Then Watch it again, and again and again.

It's worth it.… Expand
