A terrific film got attention it deserved

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 1999)

After the surprisingly strong showing by this film at the Golden Globes, I hope people will check it out again (or if they haven't seen it, see it). This got overlooked after SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, which I also thought was terrific, but this is terrific too. In addition to Jim Carrey(who I normally don't like) and Ed Harris (who I do like), who were both great, I also think Laura Linney deserves praise as the actress playing Truman's wife. She was hysterical, especially during her product pitches. Let's hope Oscar remembers this film as well as the Golden Globes did.
