King_Allant had an excellent point about why the 1998 comedy starring Jim Carrey is so disturbing. "The Truman Show is nightmares upon nightmares with a PG rating," they wrote. "It capitalises on the irrational underlying anxiety most people have on some level that their relationships might not be real because, after all, you can never truly know what another person is thinking, and expands this dread to Truman's entire reality as the secret everyone but him is in on slowly unravels. It's an existential horror movie wrapped in self-aware comedy."
