    9/10
    Magic
    A beautifully shot movie with an unusual sci-fi plot, highly recommended to all fans of the genre. It starts slowly but once fantasy elements kick in it is really worth seeing. Much better than 'Will you be there?' that came up the same year. A few original ideas not only around perception of time but let's not forget the cryptic alphabet between the 2 protagonists. I thought the acting could be better that's why only 9/10.
