About this movie

Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic... a creature of reason. While in Istanbul, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. At first, she doubts that he is real and she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. But the Djinn pleads his case, and eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both!

Ratings and reviews

Great fantasy, I watched the movie a few weeks ago in the theater, and believe it should of faired much better. It is original not a remake of a movie classic or just another cloned action film; it was a good story. If it was marketed better in the very weak 2022 movie season it would of been one of the best films.

Magical. Just magical. Haven't seen a movie this good in a very long time.

Beautiful adult fantasy.
