The Illusionist
★★★★
Director: Neil Burger
Year: 2006
Quite tempted to give this 5-stars. Absolutely loved it. An original story. The acting was superb, even Jessica Biel. Although she might be the reason it doesn’t get 5-stars. Edward Norton is brilliant. And the cinematography was close to art school sophisticated but it bridged the gap with not being exclusionary. What a fantastic film that didn’t do well in the box office but deserves to be given a second chance.
