CRITICS OF "Magic"

Video-Reviewmaster.com

Still creepy story of Hopkins and his psychotic dummy.

June 12, 2005

Time Out

A hammed-up version of the old chestnut about the ventriloquist who is 'taken over' by his dummy, clumsily adapted by William Goldman from his own novel.

Odd combo, but it's creepy and generally works.

May 09, 2006

Film Threat

Because of Hopkins, because of Ann-Margret (who hardly looks like that Ann-Margret, adeptly proving herself as an occasional dramatic actress), and because of Burgess Meredith as well as Fats the dummy, "Magic" is one of the top-notch films of the 1970s.

Very likely to produce nightmares.

October 07, 2005

FulvueDrive-in.com

A very well-crafted suspense-thriller that unfolds with one dramatically tense scene after another. Hopkins is superb.

It's no dummy!

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Good cast can't keep this thriller afloat.

November 20, 2003

Film Freak Central

It makes you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

July 09, 2006

Resource

Variety

In adapting his own best-seller, William Goldman has opted for an atmospheric thriller, a mood director Richard Attenborough fleshes out to its fullest.

March 26, 2009

Resource

New York Times

Magic is neither eerie nor effective. It is, however, very heavy of hand.

May 09, 2005

TV Guide

Magic has few scary moments and is really a rather maudlin examination of a nervous breakdown.
