I absolutely loved this movie. I had heard that this and the prestige were very similar and I saw The Prestige first so I didn't know what to expect. I thought this one is not only significantly different but much better also. No way I would have figured out the ending. Worth waiting for. Highly recommended.

Movie captured my attention from the beginning. It is more like a fairy tale than a movie. The photography is breath taking.

Wonderfully complex and captivating story. Great acting and choreography. So many twists and turns we found ourselves rewinding and replaying many parts.
