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

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!!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

It was just a modern day Aladdin.

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…

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
