Aroview: A brilliantly conceived script by expat-Kiwi whizz-kid Andrew Niccol (GATTACA) finds consummate direction in the hands of esteemed veteran Peter Weir, and the result is a landmark film.
It's the ultimate conspiracy movie, and perhaps the last word on dog-eared '90s fixations (tele-voyeurism, commercialism), whilst also cleverly ruminating on questions of reality, identity, philosophy and even The Man Upstairs. Easily one of the brightest and most innovative films to emerge from Hollywood this decade.
Average rating (Very Good). Showing 1-3 of 4 member reviews.
5 stars (Exceptional) A smart, insightful dramedy with a brilliant sense of style and heart as well as a stunning performance fom Carrey. ~Wizzums
4 stars (Very Good) Hollywood finally gets smart, with a comedy/drama that is both funny and insightful, touching on big philosophical and societal 'big brother' questions. Carrey is perfect as the confused Mr Truman. ~Tom H
2 stars (Good Try) A very good concept and the set designs/props of the suburban housing very good. ~Tubbs
