    Recommandations

    • 88

      Chicago Sun-Times

      What is most wonderful about Man on the Moon, a very good film, is that it remains true to Kaufman's stubborn vision.
    • 75

      USA Today

      A movie of moments whose ultimate legacy may be to get Carrey out of formula comedies forever.
    • 75

      New York Daily News

      Carrey gives an otherworldly, possessed performance as Kaufman.
    • 75

      San Francisco Examiner

      A fascinating, sometimes profound curiosity.
    • 67

      Portland Oregonian

      Strictly texture, a romp over the surfaces of Andy Kaufman's life with not much insight into its core.
    • 63

      Chicago Tribune

      It's not that the movie is bad; it's merely uninspired and relatively clueless about Kaufman.
    • 60

      Rolling Stone

      You won't forget the way Carrey transcends mere impersonation to find the roots of Andy's torment.
    • 50

      San Francisco Chronicle

      Though Man on the Moon is lost when it comes to Kaufman's inner life and motivations, it offers a detailed account of his career.
