The Truman Show
Directed by Peter Weir
1998
★ 7.6 editorial score
Psychiatrists named a delusion after it: a man begins to suspect his whole town is a set and everyone in his life is paid, and 1998 had no idea.
“Weir shows a mastery of tone as he shifts the film from acute social satire to an often penetrating meditation on the forces that control our existence. As Truman discerns the daily patterns that bind him -- don't try this at home or you might think you're trapped in your own TV show -- he also works up the courage to defy them.”
