Without a doubt, Carrey's best

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2002)

I've never been a great fan of Jim Carrey but I liked this. It was new, it was interesting and in today's reality TV driven world, this film needed to be made.
Jim Carrey was excellent as Truman and the supporting cast was very strong, especially Ed Harris as the benevolent Christof. Carrey showed great potential. He reminded me of another goof ball comedian, Robin Williams, who has become one of the most versatile actors in cinema today. Carrey made a great move with this film and this marked the start of a more diverse career for him with appearances in 'Simon Birch' and 'The Man in the Moon'.
I'd like to see more of this kind of movie from Carrey. I really connected with Truman's desire for freedom from expectation and duty. The film touched me and moved me in such a profound way. Its themes are so deep that its like diving into a sea when you watch this film. As with all great films, you can watch this a hundred times and still enjoy it for the remarkably interesting and insightful piece of cinema that it is.
