Synopsis:

A brilliant satire which takes aim at several targets - including the voyeurism of fly-on-the-wall programming; product placement; and the power of soap operas - hitting them all, due to the faultless performances by Carrey as the hapless Truman Burbank and Ed Harris as Christof, the programmes's tyrannical producer.

Average score 6.8
