Very strong Biography starring Jim Carrey

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2016)

As the title of this review says. This is a very strongly written and directed biography about the life of Andy Kaufman, a very, very, VERY strange comedian who had the most unique sense of humor, and as you can judge yourselves by looking up some of his real life sketches online, was at very least part genius, if I can say so. Jim Carrey comes in. Possibly the best human being, if not 'the only', on the planet to play this role. It's one of these roles that are just tailor-made for a very specific individual. The film, up until the very last scene, is a tribute to Kaufman for how incredibly ahead of his time he was and the utterly unique sense of humor and creativity he possessed, completely detached from anything else that existed at the time and even for now. The film is very direct, vivid. It somewhat feels like a sequence of newspaper articles depicting Kaufman's life events put together in a coherent way. Jim Carrey is an amazing human being, and this film matches that special, unique quality he's always Carried with him (get it ? 'Carried' ?.. eh, awful...). A very nice film, and eye-opening for many who may've never heard of this contemporary genius portrayed here by another contemporary genius.
