Audience Reviews for Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton

  • Nov 25, 2017
    It is quite nice to see these images released to the public after so many years, now in a curious documentary that explores Jim Carrey's creative process showing us how he embraced the character of Andy Kaufman and even treated him (as well as Tony Clifton) as a real human being.

    Great documentary with a lot of behind the scenes footage from the making of "Man on the moon." Carrey disappearing entirely behind his role Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton at the time and looking back on that period and his entire career now are telling us a lot about the man, the actor and his roles. The similarities between him and Kaufman are striking.
