Aren't All Great Artists Masters of Illusion & Trickery ? submitted by MaggieCupcakes on August 4, 2014, 2:31pm Any serious fan of thrillers will be able to pretty quickly see where this film is going. Doesn't matter . . . there are plenty of intriguing allegories and beautiful works of art to keep you engaged, and brilliant character development by Mr. Rush in particular.

Sadly, there comes a point in the movie when the plot starts to stagnate, and while the ending demonstrates a parable-like point, it gets there too slowly and clumsily. STILL doesn't matter . . . it's refreshing to watch a solid story unfold without having to rely on obscenities, weaponry, or shock value to have an impact. And who knows, maybe all the hints have been deliberately left out to allow you the thrill of personally solving the mystery before the reveal.

Great submitted by leenajong on August 18, 2017, 2:35pm Great performance by Geoffrey Rush.

BRILLIANT MOVIE. I am about to enjoy it for the THIRD time. Tornatore is a GENIUS and Rush a top actor. submitted by Tassos on December 21, 2019, 8:44am STRONGLY Recommended to anybody with half a brain (most moviegoers have none, BTW. Which may explain to you all the Batman, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, Vin Diesel, Cartoon Movies, "Romance" Hallmark movies, made for TV movies, and all other CRAPPY movies people actually pay to see!!!!)
