The Illusionist

A struggling French illusionist travels north after audiences lose interest in traditional magic. In Scotland, he meets a young woman who believes his tricks are real, and their journey to Edinburgh brings them into a tender, changing relationship.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate gentle, visually rich animation, quiet emotion, and melancholy stories like The Triplets of Belleville; Not for you if you want fast action, abundant dialogue, or a highly complex plot.
