Mesmerizing if not fascinating...
1 March 2023
I found this movie to be beyond the realm of even remotely, ordinary but mesmerizing and interesting in really seeing the world as it is - beyond the "naked" eye in intentions and actual life as we know it. Tilda Swinton did an outstanding job as Althea who doesn't function well out of her intellect when it comes to listening to her feelings. Idris Elba was also outstanding in his role as Djinn and gave meaning to the "storytelling" of his history and the genuine feeling of life, meaning and love. Very capturing, ethereal story yet profoundly human in the feeling of what is, fantasy and perhaps what should be. Really enjoyed being "removed" for this movie to another world and placed into another place of possibilities, doubts, fears and circumspection. Very entertaining and has left me with real contemplation in a variety of ways.
