Great watch.
The story was very good with just a hint of predictability. The on-stage illusions were a little too much. If it was more realistic, I would've maxed the rating. The story is set in the late 1800's. Electricity was just becoming available. I haven't read Millhauser's short story on which this movie is based, but I intend to.
Norton is one of the best thespians alive (better Hulk than Ruffalo). I can't think of a bad act from him. He did a great job in this character.
Rufus Sewell has to be one of the best bad-guy actors since James Woods.
The wokeness is absolute zero. Enjoy.
