Imagine learning that your entire life, every friend, every sunrise, every ordinary day at work, has been a television show beamed to millions. One man is about to, and he has no clue the cameras are rolling. Peter Weir's eerily prophetic satire The Truman Show (1998), written by Andrew Niccol, gives Jim Carrey one of his great dramatic turns, with Ed Harris, Laura Linney and Noah Emmerich around him. How accurately it predicted reality TV and surveillance culture, the psychological condition it inspired, the direction and the high-concept script are all on the table. Luke, Westy and Matt weigh in with a highlight each and three scores out of 10. In case we don't see you, does it earn top marks?
