ReviewsGuardian - Gentle, affectionate, whimsical, but deeply felt and with an arrowhead of emotional pain., Empire Magazine - Bittersweet, moving and utterly beautiful: a love letter to cinema and to Scotland., Daily Telegraph - French animator Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist is a gushing love letter to Edinburgh, its unique geography, architecture and distinctively pale, wintry light.
