A unique movie for fans of magic!

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2020)

The Illusionist is a very well-crafted movie. It's sort of like The Prestige, which was out in the same year, due to taking place during the late 19th or early 20th century. The performances from Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, and Jessica Biel were really well done. The cinematography is beautiful to look at. The ending had a very surprising and interesting twist. I didn't expect the ending to be very surprising, but I'm happy that it surprised me. All in all, The Illusionist is not as good as The Prestige, but it's a unique, well acted, and thoughtful movie.
