Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond

About This Movie

So, Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond is this fascinating peek into the madness of Jim Carrey while he was embodying Andy Kaufman for Man on the Moon.

The pacing feels organic, like you’re just hanging out with these folks as they navigate this surreal experience. The behind-the-scenes footage is raw, and Carrey’s performance is a rollercoaster of bizarre energy. Chris Smith’s direction captures these layers of identity and performance art with a unique touch.
