Talk about magic! Dan Radcliffe's progression is amazing in this film. All the characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated falsehoods. This is another level of film. The film is dark, brooding, intense. Great performances help to enhance this amazing story of friendship and magic. The cinematography is stark and bare, with only the soundtrack adding some effect. The urge to just walk away almost got me a couple of times. But, in the end, this is an excellent character study. Indeed the characters in this film have a lot of depth and the realism with which they are portrayed by the actors is shocking at times.
