Roger Ebert

Miller's mastery makes the movie eye-popping; his freedom and audacity make it surprising and unsettling.

The Guardian

It’s an Arabian Nights-type fantasia which he has clearly been gagging to make for years.

NPR

The movie has its undeniable pleasures... but it becomes less effective as it raises the possibility of romance between Alithea and the Djinn.

Hollywood Reporter

But my problem with this kind of Cinema with a capital 'C' is its self-consciousness.

IndieWire

Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba conjure all sorts of magical chemistry in George Miller's bombastic modern fairy tale.

IMDb

"Miller's visual finesse is refreshing, and the relatively low stakes are a relief, but the story is monstrously cluttered."

The Guardian

Three Thousand Years of Longing is guileless, open-hearted, like an antiquarian bookseller's dream of The Thief of Baghdad.

Rotten Tomatoes

As magical and trippy as Three Thousand Years of Longing wants to be, it gets lost in its own grand storytelling.
