How long before this happens

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2004)

This is a movie that's fantastic to watch when you have no idea what it's about. You get the chance to see how long it takes for you to realise what's going on.
Truman (Carey) is born into a world of 24/7 reality tv where he is the star. All his friends and loved ones are actors and he's the only person that isn't in on it. As reality tv becomes more and more outlandish you can't help wondering whether this will happen in the not too distant future.

Ed Harris is superb in the supporting role of the producer/director/creator of the show. Paradoxically he guards his privacy and is a very private person and has a number of memorable lines. Carey is also superb in the lead role and the ending must be one of the more uplifting moments of 90's cinema. 9/10.
