- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Hopkins is quite good as the timid ventriloquist-magician, but the film suffers with the addition of an awkward subplot"
-
"It's intended to be a thriller, but there's little suspense and almost no fun"
-
"Aside from the obligatory shots of the dummy looking sinister, director Attenborough fails to evoke an effectively eerie mood"
-
"'Magic' is unworthy of its name. It's frightfully feeble and obvious."
