Rating: 5/5 --
Chomet has delivered yet another fantastically assured film, one which even transcends the brilliance of his first feature.

CineVue
It is elegiac, charming, mournful and wondrous.

The Tyee (British Columbia)
Rating: 3/5 --
Director Sylvain Chomet manages to rouse a lot of smirks and smiles through the small nuance and inferences that were Tati's signature.

The Age (Australia)
An 80-minute, hand-drawn animated French film without dialogue and with one of the most depressing finale acts ever committed to celluloid: this is The Illusionist. It's also some sort of divine masterpiece.

Trespass
The Illusionist is as radiantly rich as Tati's own movies, without losing any sense of period.

Rating: 3.54 --
The Illusionist feels personal, with a deep melancholy that keeps the story from becoming overly sentimental or cutesy.

The Oklahoman
For his next astonishing feat, that wizard of the animated screen Sylvain Chomet, master of The Triplets of Belleville, has pulled out of his hat an all-new Jacques Tati film.

Product Description:
Blu-ray/DVD COMBO. From the Director of the Oscar-nominated classic THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE, THE ILLUSIONIST is a story about two paths that cross. While touring concert halls, theaters and pubs, an aging, down-on-his-luck magician encounters a young girl at the start of her life's journey. Alice is a teenage girl with all her capacity for childish wonder still intact. She plays at being a woman without realizing the day to stop pretending is fast approaching. She doesn't know yet that she loves the Illusionist like she would a father; he already knows that he loves her as he would. A daughter. Their destinies will collide, but nothing not even magic or the power of illusion can stop the voyage of discovery.
