Nominated for an Audience Choice Award at the **Chicago International Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Motion Picture, Documentary at the **Satellite Awards**. *"If you're a budding film student or a newly-minted cineaste looking for a quick and easy brush-up on the all-time great American director, MAGICIAN will serve perfectly well." - Tom Huddleston, **Time Out*** |
