Critics universally praise the stunning cinematography and art direction, describing it as a "maximalist" visual feast.

George Miller’s Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) is a visually lush, philosophical fantasy that serves as a "love letter to storytelling" . Based on the short story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye" by A.S. Byatt, it follows Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton), a lonely academic who releases a Djinn (Idris Elba) from a bottle.

Unlike traditional fantasy epics, most of the movie is two characters talking in a hotel room, interspersed with epic, fairy-tale-like flashbacks.
