Reviews


100
Variety - Todd McCarthy
A gemlike picture crafted with rare and immaculate precision.
100
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Delicately subversive, hypnotically sardonic, full of terror, banality and wafer-thin lyricism.
100
Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan
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.
90
Film.com - Tom Keogh
Achieves a kind of beauty through its overlaying enigmas, and Carrey.
90
Time - Richard Corliss
Hollywood's smartest media satire in years--and a breakthrough for Jim Carrey.
