Asteroid City Movie Review

That idiosyncratic nature plays out in the look of the sets and costumes, the colour palette and lighting, the dialogue and performance of the actors and the whimsical nature of the stories they tell.

Three Thousand Years of Longing Movie Review

You may think you know where the story goes from here but it veers into a much more interesting narrative. It’s more about The Djinn’s (Idris Elba) story and how he came to be trapped in the bottle. Few actors have the gravitas vocally as Elba and it’s used to great effect as he spins his tale.   //   As the story expands you find the loneliness that The Djinn has experienced being trapped in the bottle for centuries is equally matched by Alithea’s emotionally ...

Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.   //   Three Thousand Years of Longing is directed by George Miller and stars Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton.
