Slow but strong film

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2019)

The Prestige might be the magician film you remember from 2006, but The Illusionist was a dark horse. The Illusionist boasts strong character and a slow building storyline, that pays off in the end. Ed Norton is the key ingredient here and the film successfully leads the audience away from the central storyline. Great film and it deserves further recognition.
