Ava S @avawatches Jul 12 It's a bit pretentious, sure, but Carrey knows it, giving his all to create an over-the-top version of the iconic Kaufman, ultimately entertaining us with a story about individuality and creativity. See more Broccoli F @RT88924632 06/28/2024 Dull as f**k. I couldn’t finish it. A campy cliche of celebrity mistaking itself for genius. See more Gary K @RT34064813 01/04/2024 I was nervous about watching this documentary as to whether it would be just flat information. I was pleasantly surprised at the format. Andy Kaufman was so far ahead of the curve in his time. It can be said that probably only Bob Zmuda would be the only other person that lived inside Andy's head and therefore understood all of the jokes (unless you count Tony Clifton!) Enter Jim Carrey. Jim chose the method acting approach for the Andy (and Tony) character. The only way to truly do so was to make the same exact connection with Bob Zmuda, which he did, and then Jim BECAME Andy (and/or Tony.) To see Jim sit in the chair with the beard retell things now when he was fully Jim and NOT be Andy was actually unsettling as it seemed that he couldn't be Andy any longer. THAT'S how deep into the mind of Andy/Tony Jim had become on and off camera during the making of Man On The Moon. This is, by far, one of the best documentaries that I have seen in years and recommend it to anyone that has seen Man On The Moon and wants to know more about that time in Jim's life. See more Aaron S @RT79746728 02/01/2023 It's undeniably fascinating as a character study of both Carrey and Kaufman. The spin in this doc is that this form of methodology is almost a spiritual journey that simultaneously pulls one toward and also pushes away the self. While this may be true, there's no world where Carrey doesn't come out of this not appearing to be an asshole drunk on power. See more C. M @RT16939612 12/02/2022 Didnt like this film at all. Dragged on. Boring ending. I dont recommend See more 04/26/2022 For what it is, it really is quite magical. A time capsule back to the life and mind of Andy and the filming of Man On The Moon and the mind of Jim. A very unique perspective of two very unique people and comedians. I love it. Jim really is a wise insightful man. Andy was also such a master of his craft. 100/100 See more Read all reviews
