MovieWeb Reviews:

"A vividly crafted and cunning whodunit."

- Julian Roman

"The Prestige is gothically twisted yet romanticized with its Victorian backdrops and powerful performances. Lives hang in the balance, obsessions control your every move and you will get your money's worth - witnessing something that is sure to shock and amaze."

- Adam Frazier
