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.

  • Typical J Tati story

    This one of the most brilliant animation productions ever. Chomet has got away from Disney kitch. The story is typical Tati: nothing quite works out after all our efforts, a sort of sad failure sometimes prevails. Hilariously funny with wonderful characterisation of the ‘typical’ Scotsman and pop stars . But also poignantly sad in parts - you’ll love it

  • The illusionist

    A wonderful story that doesn't need much dialogue with some extraordinary characters in it. The drawing and colour of this film are what I would describe as unique to the producer with a lovely storyline to boot.

  • as above

    I always enjoy Tati's performance. The film is set in Edinburgh and I happen to recognise some streets and places. I enjoyed the film.
