The Truman Show is a fantastic movie and shows a real point in life. When you walk into the store, there is cameras watching you almost EVERYWHERE and you could be picking your nose! It's almost like your life is on TV, just like Truman. Great acting, story and a marvelous..well filmed and edited movie. Honestly, if they made a remake or sequel...it would stink.
It seems that the Truman Show is so alternative from the mainstream that the audiences are stunned and agitated at the first sight. Yet, it is no more than a small portrait of reality. Just as the movie Dead Poets Society, director Peter Weir shows the provocative idea of breaking the convention and think of things in a higher stage. Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank proved himself as a dramatic actor

The New York Times
Warm, affecting and refreshingly shtickless, he (Carrey) occupies center stage here through sheer, beguiling force of personality. Full Review

ReelViews
An appealing, offbeat, one-hundred minute diversion for those who really are tired of monsters tearing down buildings and action heroes saving the world. Full Review

A sunny-looking movie about the darkest paranoia. Full Review
