COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Thought-provoking submitted by krayla on June 20, 2013, 7:58pm This movie is one of my favorites. Jim Carrey does the serious, dramatic role very well. The best part of this movie is that it's so dystopian but also all-American... it really makes you think about what our culture values and how far a company would go to gain an audience or make money. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes 1984, The Giver, or Pleasantville. The music is also amazing.

tts submitted by a2sue on August 18, 2013, 10:19am i really liked the truman show. it was fun to see jim carrey in a dramatic role, rather than the comedy he mostly does.

Favorite submitted by Cory Michael on August 13, 2014, 9:23am Jim carrey is hilarious! This movie is a top favorite of mine.

You've felt it... submitted by Kikumatsu97 on July 7, 2015, 1:37pm ..we all have. Being watched. Suspicion of some kind of control over our lives that we're not totally sure of. Fate. What if someone took it upon themselves to "play god" just to you? For the sake of television show? Wow, this movie really is an admission of a profound truth.

not for me submitted by Jackie77 on August 5, 2015, 10:35am I didnt care for this movie. It seemed to be slow in some spots and dragged on. I prefer Jim in his slapstick roles.

Clever submitted by k8e on June 18, 2018, 3:23pm I missed seeing this movie back when it was released and just watched it for the first time. I was impressed by the original and creative plot line and how much it still works as a satire about reality tv and celebrity worship in today's culture. Nice balance of comedy/drama.

Great Movie submitted by jenessakump on June 25, 2018, 10:22pm This movie is one of my favorites! If you haven't watched it, you should!

Intelligent submitted by lstorc on August 31, 2018, 1:58am As someone who is not a Jim Carrey fan, I admit but this was a wonderful movie. It was intelligent beautifully crafted.

Ahead of Its Time submitted by caburr47 on August 4, 2019, 2:32pm What if your entire life was under the microscope of the entire world.
Who would want that, if you had a choice.

Current events submitted by sara on August 17, 2020, 9:16am Living through the Corona closures makes me sometimes feel that I am living in Truman's world.

Great movie! Unexpectedly enjoyed this. submitted by jgetty on November 29, 2021, 12:35pm It took me a bit to get into the movie, but at the end I loved it! Really strange but great movie.

really cool premise submitted by jrpolaczyk on June 27, 2023, 6:54am Crazy premise that will mess your brain up....but...would they make this movie if you were in the Truman show? Would they want you to know that that could happen? Am I just writing this to all my adoring fans who watch this show?? If so, I'm sorry I'm so boring.
