Three Thousand Years of Longing | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk While Three Thousand Years of Longing never reaches that film’s mastery or poignancy, the expansive, bold paint-strokes of Miller’s passionate world-creation is still singular to behold. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Dylan Roth Observer Visually rich and thematically dense, Three Thousand Years of Longing muses on romance and possession, as well as the slow death of mythology and folklore at the hands of science and capitalism. Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Scott Tobias The Reveal (Substack) A feast for the head and the heart and the eyes. Rated: 4/5 Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Arthur Goyaz Loud and Clear Reviews George Miller creates a thrilling mosaic of stories where reality and fantasy become one. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Three Thousand Years of Longing is equal parts ambitious, fascinating and messy. Rated: 6.5/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film The stories that the Djinn tells are lovely, but the movie really lands in the second half when things get slightly more normal.

Synopsis Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic -- content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.
