But it does let you leave feeling all right..."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 85/100 "A deliciously vicious and intelligent satire. Jim Carrey is great as the man caught in the middle and Ed Harris is suitably evil as his tormentor."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 4/4 "For the first time in years, we are confronted with a movie that is so original and so intriguing that you wonder why no one had thought it up before."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "...benefits substantially from Jim Carrey's unexpectedly layered (and flat-out moving) performance."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 7/10 "A little miracle of 1990s Hollywood that deserves more praise and more audience today than it had a few years ago."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov A "What this film proves is that it is still possible to make a completely original movie in modern Hollywood. Perhaps this brilliant fable will encourage others to try."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "The intimations of profundity, of reality perceived, mediated, and processed, are milked for heavy irony rather than enlarging complexit."   Slant Magazine   Fernando F. Croce "Tailor-made for our era of celebrity spectacles, theme parks, and the incursion of pop culture into all aspects of our lives."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "An appealing, offbeat, one-hundred minute diversion for those who really are tired of monsters tearing down buildings and action heroes saving the world."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "The Truman Show must count as very clever entertainment."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 6/10 "Extremely original, well-written piece that ultimately left me emotionally detached, and feeling bored at certain times."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/4 "The film is very funny, but also touching and thought provoking."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 9/10 "As plot it's a little thin, especially when you already know the premise ... The performances are uniformly pitch-perfect."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh high +2 out of -4..+4 "Weir looks at the media and what it is doing to both the viewer and the person under media scrutiny. The film also takes a playful look at the relationship between humanity and God."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/4 "Perhaps it's not fair to criticize a movie for what it isn't, but it seems like there were some missed opportunities here."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "A stunningly original, deeply disturbing, surrealistic nightmare of a film the likes of which I haven't seen in a long time. [SPOILER!]"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "A subtly layered, perceptive, and pointedly truthful commentary on the media and its and our own voyeuristic tendencies."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina "When it was over, I wanted to stand up and cheer."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "A thought-provoking story and outstanding performances make this is a very worthwhile movie for families to watch together."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/5 "Some of us may go out wishing for something meatier, edgier."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3.5/4 "There aren't many original ideas coming out of Hollywood these days, but The Truman Show is one of them."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "A brilliant flick with a remarkable performance by Carrey coupled to a fascinating story, a first-class cast and top-notch technical credits."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 5/5 "With the reality TV boom, it brings forth more thoughts as to whether our society could ever be this extreme, and with each viewing, its themes deepen."   Film Threat   Rory L. Aronsky "The issues it tackles are just as relevant now (if not more so) than they were when the film was first released theatrically back in 1997."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell A- "A deceptively simple fairy tale; a hilariously subversive satire… and finally an elegant parable about truth and happiness with evocative religious resonances."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
