Brilliant Biopic

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2019)

There's not much that I can add to 561 reviews of this film. It is a loving tribute to a much misunderstood man, or maybe to a man who could not be understood. He created his own life, much like an Andy Warhol character or a latter day Lenny Bruce. He lived his life to create happenings, and maybe was an anachronism by the 1980s. Only Jim Carey could have pulled this off - it was his finest role. But, in the end, Kaufman was a man. Probably a man no one will ever get to the real meaning. Was he certifiably insane. No. He was a performer through and through, and that comes through is this amazing tribute.
