Directed by Guillermo del Toro
An ambitious carnival man with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words hooks up with a female psychologist who is even more dangerous than he is.
Why it matters
Guillermo del Toro's carnival noir, in which a drifter (Bradley Cooper) rises from carny to mentalist to fraudulent medium, learning that the best con is the one the mark performs on himself. A film about the price of the withheld reveal.
