Very good, although not entirely my cup of tea.

Rating: 6/10 (16 October 2019)

Regarded as one of the top rated movies, I was curious to see what made it so good. Knowing the premise, I was interested to see how they were going to justify the story.
The film is actually incredibly well set-up, explaining in detail how it was possible for Truman to never explore the world. Jim Carrey is also perfectly cast as Truman, and he completely sold his character to me in a not-so-over-the-top comedic and also somewhat dramatic performance. The more I watched, the more addicted I became - like a soapie. This was the whole idea of the movie and it effectively came across as such.
Ed Harris is also great in his role as the film's antagonist. 'The Truman Show' is an interesting concept, and they manage to pull it off perfectly. The film also has a beautiful score. Good ending.
