Definitely a must see if you like fantasy and reality rolled into one…acting was awesome…flows well and was a nice break from the real world!

Beautifully written, directed, acted, and shot. Not for everyone. If you like narrative storytelling, then you'll like this.

Was good and weird

Excellent visual journey. Tilda and Edris give stunning performances. A fun romp!

It started off pretty strong and then fell apart towards the end. Still worth checking out

Longing for true love is inevitable at some point in life. Although it may seem as if we have everything we desire, without love, we will always be incomplete. Great movie!!

A wonderful mix of fantasy and romance with a very engaging twist

Unique and imaginative, but a bit slow

This was a very strange movie. The naked large women was disturbing

So three thousand and late

Very strong start with original and interesting stories! The end didn't quite hold up as much, but still a great film.

All the shots in the last 15 minutes looked like they could be the final shot of the movie and I felt like i was being teased

Amazing story

Boring AF! I expected more action comedy fantasy. I would not recommend it to the coworker I strongly dislike.

I had no idea where the movie was going then it ended.

while the concept is interesting, and the visuals are strong, The story of the main characters is at best. creepy.

it was too cliche since it was a genie who was granting wishes, and needed his own freedom. I could have watched Aladdin!

is was ok but slow and I fall asleep

was a great story

Solid movie, some pacing issues, but Idris as the djinn? 💦

This film needed a female director

It was unique...I have not seen anything similar yet, I felt it was lacking. I would neither encourage nor discourage someone from going.

It’s started off strong but fell off towards the end. There also wasn’t a climax in the movie that being said it was still a great watch w/ fantasy & reality & beautiful cinematography

just dreamy i love it.

Three thousand years of boredom

i enjoyed 2/3 of this movie. the last 1/3 just seem like it was an after thought.

Movie is moved by Dialogue and emotion. so if you are looking for action this isn't it. ending was a bit dull but overall movie was great

It was just a modern day Aladdin.

Lovely cinematography

not at all what I thought it would be

ok overall. if you didn't like Mad Max you won't like it. Nudity not needed for the story but there in a few scenes

Just terrible , i went on cinema day so it was only 3$ but even that was a waste of money

This was a weird movie BUT I do not feel like I wasted my time seeing it. It has an interesting story and Miller has a certain style that works for the movie. It sure is different but different is ok.

It was very fantastical and a bit problematic as it kind of seemed like a creative telling of a white woman’s sexual fantasy with a black man.

The actress who played Sheba was perfect. The Djinn was right.

Not good

Great storyline and storytelling.

Very Artsy love story

Ok movie. Interesting storyline.

I loved the story, but the telling could have been improved. There were a few too many unnecessary cuts to black that interrupted the flow of the movie too much.

My husband and I both enjoyed the movie as it had some Islamic history mixed with fantasy. If you're looking for a high action packed movie this isn't it, but if you're looking for a romantic feel good and somewhat educational film this is it. It would have been much better without the unnecessary nude scenes. This is not a movie to take children to... hence the R rating.

started off great and the plot became a little slow in the middle but overall a great love story.

George Miller’s film is a passionate exploration of how image-making is inextricable from storytelling.

Derek Smith

Slant Magazine

Miller’s film, based on an A.S. Byatt short story, is long and feels incomplete, weighty without much psychological or intellectual heft, colorful but rarely dazzling and never whimsical enough.

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

These days, audiences are so savvy about the tricks at a filmmaker’s disposal that the movie’s greatest achievement is that it seizes our imagination (or perhaps that’s our attention deficit disorder being so brusquely manhandled) and holds it for the better part of two hours, defying us to anticipate what comes next.
