GamerTab That was an excellent one.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
iraclay Never watched such a horrible movie, why play a role so stupid, really a 30 yr old man is clueless to his whole life being a lie. Pure trash can't believe Jim Carey embarrassed himself doing this movie,I cant even believe it only took me half of the movie to notice how bad the movie was, only if I could sue the makers for wasting my time lmaoo
smsudusinghe Jim Carrey is not just a comedian. Everybody thinks Jim is a comedian, but if you watch this film you'll understand who Jim Carrey really is. They should give him the Oscar for this performance. This movie is made from a great concept. Once that concept was on my head too. Director Peter Weir is a Genius. Somehow he has been able to made this movie without a single mistake. I really hate television. After I watched this I removed the TV from living room. But the movie won't tell you to hate television. It only told me. Truman Show is a great experience. A wonderful movie you can watch with your family. Specially TV lovers.
dantelerner I really liked the end and the plot but during the movie I thought it was a little bit cruel because it was very sad that Truman was taken away by Christof and it was very mean but the end changed it all.
The Movie Diorama In a time where the UK has 'The Only Way Is Essex', 'Geordie Shore' and 'Made in Chelsea', reality TV shows are a massive hit. I wish they weren't, but they are. It's clear to see why. Observing the lives of others on a routinely basis makes you feel like you know them on a personal level. The same applies to this film. Truman Burbank is unknowingly in a hit reality show where his life and world is fabricated. He starts to find odd idiosyncrasies in his day to day routine that makes him question the legitimacy of his world. Straight up, this is Jim Carrey's best film and best performance. He controls his usual animated comedic mannerisms to create an understated and emotionally captivating performance. Peter Weir's direction is also compelling, utilising hidden cameras in this false reality to enhance the TV show-like qualities, making the experience feel real. But what really puts The Truman Show on the map is the concept. I've seen this a good few times, and every single viewing gives me a sense of euphoria. The ending might be slightly underwhelming but when we get to the final five minutes, it's like we've completed a quest! Me and Truman, together. The narrative evokes many themes. The idea of our lives being dictated by a higher power. The right to have the freedom of choice. Exploring the concept of fate and destiny. Is it subtle? No, but it doesn't need to be. That's the point of the plot. I adored the small details that reality shows include, like product placements. Laura Linney staring at the camera talking about cocoa...it's a thing of beauty and kinda makes me want to buy some. The natural progression of Truman discovering unusual happenings was well paced and all the loose ends were tied up nicely. Overall, a fascinating and enthralling study of reality TV shows with a career best performance from Jim Carrey.
