One of the most original ideas to come out of Hollywood in a long time.

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2003)

The Truman Show is a fresh and thought provoking comedy, with some excellent acting, directing and scripting. It's a very simple concept and is a bit slow to start off but after the first fifteen minutes it reaches a climax and continues on that note for the rest of the movie.
The acting is great all across the board, (Jim Carrey's best film to date). The films humour flows naturally and the drama is very gripping. Indeed The Truman Show is one of those few films that doesn't rely on special effects and a huge budget to be a great film. 8.1 out of 10.
