Roger Ebert
It's quite a movie -- atmospheric, obsessive, almost satanic.

The New York Times
'The Prestige' is a triumph of gimmickry, a movie generous enough with its showmanship and sleight of hand to quiet the temptation to grumble about its lack of substance.

AllMovie
The Prestige is the cinematic equivalent of watching a Penn & Teller show.

Decent Films
"Tightly plotted and thematically well-crafted, the film offers converging lessons regarding seemingly harmless illusions that belie grim realities."

IMDb
'The Prestige' is a majestic film... a shoe-in for my top 10 of 2006, and easily the most inventive film I have seen in years.

Rotten Tomatoes
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.
