The Illusionist

A struggling French illusionist travels to Scotland as his old-fashioned act loses appeal. There, he meets a young woman who believes his tricks are real, and their journey from a small island to Edinburgh brings them into an unusual, tender companionship.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer quiet, visually rich animation with melancholy and heart, especially films like The Triplets of Belleville; Not for you if you want fast action, abundant dialogue, or a complex story.
