One of the smartest, most inventive movies in memory, it manages to be as endearing as it is provocative.
A sunny-looking movie about the darkest paranoia.

The Truman Show is probably one of Jim Carrey's best work I have ever seen as it broadcasts it's own world building filled with various "hope and joy".
Report
An original, inspired piece of work.
The result is a rarity on any screen: intelligent fun.
It's unusually provocative and challenging for a Hollywood movie and, surprisingly, allows the audience to piece things together without too much external direction.
É um bom filme.
Temos uma premissa interessante, que claramente não envelheceu e pode ser usada como uma critica nos dias de hoje; uma performance do Jim Carrey interpretando a sim mesmo - que é muito agradável para quem curte o ator, como eu; criticas subjetivas que enriquecem a experiencia para quem se adentrou a trama e uma boa pitada de humor, que não funciona em diversos momentos, mas também rende umas cenas engraçadíssimas. Acredito que o filme demora um pouco para "decolar", mas a partir da metade se passa muito rápido. Creio que ele tenha acabado no momento correto, e cabe a nós imaginar o que havia por vir. O diretor escolheu uma abordagem mais caricata, visto que algo "pé no chão" mudaria muito a atmosfera do filme e como os personagens reagiriam ao longo dele. Visto que a obra não se leva a serio, nossa tolerância aumenta e a realidade ali posposta tende a ser menos depressiva e pessimista.
The Truman Show é engraçado, traz umas reflexões interessantes sobre o tema e tem um final assertivo com um clímax bem definido.

The Truman Show cannot overcome it's flimsy direction and schmaltzy plot. Instead of making a film with a relatable protagonist, the film chooses instead to make him more of a victim for the audience in and out of the movie to feel bad about. The film has interesting writing ideas, but all of that impressive effort is drowned out by the film's sentimental syrup.

I've always been a fan of Jim Carrey's movies since i can remember,
and the Truman show is critically acclaimed which i should like automatically right, NOPE.
i admire that the story is creative and coming from high imagination but the problem with a high imagined movie is the end,
because with your imagination you can create a perfect movie world with perfect events,
but the hardest thing to do is to close this world with an eventful plot, unfortunately the end in this movie was so bad,
that it actually pissed me off, Truman was born and raised in this fake world, so he have no idea about the actual real world,
so you'd think he's very excited and anticipated to get out but a huge character development was missing from the plot and ending the movie like this with a fake smile "good morning, good evening and goodnight"
was the worst ending to a movie i have ever seen.
the end actually left me speechless for about 9 minutes.
