Jim Carrey's self analysis is devastatingly touching.

Madness or genius? After seeing this doc, and Carrey's method approach into getting under Kaufman's skin, you might well wonder. The truth is more complicated than that of course, but when talking about both Carrey and Kaufman, the same truth applies to both men. They are/were both tremendously talented, and they are/were both capable of pushing their art and their behaviour to the limits. The doc is mesmerising, and serves as an offbeat tribute to both men. It also reminded me that I do need to rewatch 'Man on the Moon' again sometime soon!

I don't know that method acting is necessary to get at a role, and I don't literally believe Jim channeled Andy or anything like that. But man, Jim is in character as Andy in some of the footage -- the cadence, the hesitation is amazing. Sure, Andy was a different guy behind the scenes, but it's powerful to see. It's almost like the production became a kind of performance art all its own. And it gets at how we all perform, how we put on faces for the cameras and each other -- which was kind of Kaufman's point, and which is there in Jim's comedy too. In the end, Jim Carrey seems like an amazing and fascinating person, and his thoughts left me in tears.

One of the most irritating documentaries I’ve watched in awhile.

I love Jim Carry, but man does he come across as a pretentious and narcissistic douche bag in this documentary and the behind the scene clips of ‘Man on the Moon’. So up his own ass while trying to act deep and insightful…mo More
