Gripping, suspenseful, mysterious, moving and often darkly funny.

The Prestige gets right to the heart of why we even watch movies in the first place, and does so in a way that is both intellectually stimulating, deeply moving, and completely paradoxical. Nolan demonstrates a rare and truly deep understanding of the human condition in a most rewarding and honest way. This sublime accomplishment is sadly overlooked.
