A touching film which brings us to the heart of Truman

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2002)

When I watched this film for the first time I was amazed how it left me feeling when I left the Cinema.
When I heard about the film I didn't expect it to be overly brilliant, due to the nature of Carreys films, but he pulled this off leaving the audience wondering if Carrey was actually Truman. The film allows him to be funny, but while keeping a sincerity about it meaning we are desperate to find out what happens.
The directing is incredible in this film, "Spy Cameras" are used very effictively meaning we feel as though we are watching The Truman Show as a real programme on TV and not as a film.
I left the cinema feeling the same as I did when I first watched "The Great Escape." This is a feeling of sadness and hoping that something like this will never happen again, except with The Truman Show we have to remind ourselves one thing, it is only a film!
