Reviews

Radio Times

Brian Pendreigh

Nolan constructs a fascinating tale that twists and turns at every opportunity, although there is perhaps one twist too many in a slightly overbaked dénouement.

Nolan looks at how obsession can drive you beyond your limit and destroy everything, even when the simple answer is right in front of you. In the process, he … intentionally crafts an allegory of filmmaking itself.

For the Win (USA Today)

Cory Woodroof

In terms of building narratives on top of narratives, this one really cemented Nolan as one of cinema’s most cerebral storytellers.

The Prestige is a thrilling film but it requires multiple viewings to better understand the narrative.
