Reviews

Variety -
A gemlike picture crafted with rare and immaculate precision.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
Delicately subversive, hypnotically sardonic, full of terror, banality and wafer-thin lyricism.
|
|
Washington Post -
That rare cinematic experience-a movie so close to pure perfection that it seems a shame to spoil it by even reading a review beforehand.

Film.com -
Achieves a kind of beauty through its overlaying enigmas, and Carrey.
|
|
Time -
Hollywood's smartest media satire in years--and a breakthrough for Jim Carrey.
