Critic Reviews of "The Prestige"
NPR.orgOctober 18, 2008The film is never less than engaging, though considering that the title The Prestige refers to the moment in a magic act that gives it its "wow" factor, it's kind of a shame that the ultimate "reveal" in the movie is a little too tricky for its own good.
Chicago Sun-TimesSeptember 07, 2007It's quite a movie -- atmospheric, obsessive, almost satanic.
Time OutFebruary 03, 2007The who's-bilking-whom mind games make for compelling fun, but once the presto moment of The Prestige is revealed, you're left with nothing but shattered illusions.
Time OutNovember 09, 2006Not only does it tell you how it's all done, it takes so long about it that you've got time to look up its sleeves and work it out for yourself.
Ebert & RoeperOctober 25, 2006Jackman and Bale give standout performances as rivals whose mutual obsession destroys all sense of perspective and ruins lives.
New York ObserverOctober 25, 2006The film is lavishly mounted, set-wise, costume-wise, makeup-wise and special-effects-wise. But the magicians themselves are cold and devious, and the chill permeates the whole film.
Film and FeltSeptember 19, 2009Until an inexplicably awful revelation at the end, The Prestige is a taut, exciting portrait of obsession and the dark competitive spirit of professional magicians.
Boston PhoenixApril 23, 2009Although the slowish pacing early on over-indicates how both magicians' marquee misdirection (a disappearing act) will be achieved, The Prestige still manages a neat trick of its own.
Hollywood.comNovember 20, 2008Show me a director better suited for a movie about magic than Christopher Nolan and I'll show you... a magician?
Beyond HollywoodApril 17, 2008"The Prestige" is a cinematic trick, nothing more, and the deadpan seriousness is part of the effect, and not an end in itself.
BrandonFibbs.comFebruary 28, 2008In a movie about people who make their livings on misdirection, The Prestige utterly forgets to employ its own.
