'The Illusionist' showcases gifted actors

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Can't conjure up a proper ending, but otherwise very well done and quite enjoyable."

'The Illusionist' is hardly magical

John DeFore

Austin American Statesman

"You'd think a plot involving ghosts, love and royal class struggles would keep audiences riveted, but the movie magic is just an illusion."

'The Illusionist' has a dream-like aura

Hap Erstein

Palm Beach Post

"A compelling, atmospheric period yarn about an uncanny magician, his childhood love and the Austrian prince who claims her for himself."
