Critics Consensus

Well-written, well-acted, and patiently crafted, Truman takes an affecting look at a long friendship separated by distance but undimmed by time.

Why it's taken this superb movie two years to cross the ocean is a mystery. See Truman with a good friend. You'll be closer for it.

4/5

Not your typical cancer drama anchored in grief, instead a clear-sighted journey that makes demands on one's emotions in the most unlikely ways.

5/5

There isn't a mawkish moment to be found, though there are plenty of lovely, humane ones, as well as some that are quite funny.

3/5

Poignant without overstepping its bounds, Truman is an enjoyable, if sometimes insubstantial member of the popular disease film subgenre.

4/5

The plot is simple and has one or two missteps towards the end, but the character development is fantastic, as are the two lead performances.

Truman is a movie that looks at some of the saddest parts of life but never lets you lose the warmth of the feeling of friendship.

Well-developed view of a very intense moment in life - conscious preparation for death. Focus on long friendships and impactful goodbyes, while all around life continues - has to continue - for all those oblivious to the intimate drama of the protagonist.

🇪🇸🇦🇷 Esta historia de drama se centra en las vivencias que comparten dos amigos de muchos años que se reencuentran, uno de ellos enfermo terminal, que quiere pasar sus últimos días arreglando cuentas, ultimando los preparativos del funeral y encontrando un hogar para su perro, Truman. El director, Cesc Gay, trata de equilibrar la cantidad de elementos dramáticos con una buena dosis de comedia. Asimismo, las actuaciones de Ricardo Darin y Javier Càmara son maravillosas y cautivadoras en una historia realista que toca las fibras más sensibles y que cuenta con un final inesperado y muy satisfactorio. Sus 5 Premios Goya en las categorías más importantes fueron más que merecidos.
