  • 3. Game Reactor
    7 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It spins itself into too many unnecessary turns, and the story of the magicians who have almost killed each other out of greed - ultimately becomes so emptied out that the concentration slips away.
    - Petter Hegevall

    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Although I feel that it is in this episode that the film falters, it cannot be denied that Nolan has not forgotten how to work magic with film. Abracadabra!

  • 5. Dagens Nyheter
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In the end, one can no longer see where the story's illusion number ends and the film medium takes over - which is of course the intention.

    Translated from swedish: We who look understand that they want to deceive us, but it is difficult to guess how. "The Prestige" is skilled at bewildering, in a fascinating way.

    Translated from swedish: Thanks to the creeping madness in both Bales' and Jackmans' eyes, one can endure that they are otherwise not particularly profound.
