Woah. Serious Terry Gilliam vibes. Totally down for this.

Yeah, grabbed my attention tons but didn't explain too much or give away the plot as such.

I just watched this and it was very good.  Terry Gilliam vibes indeed.

I couldn't really get over the "sexually repressed white woman summons a big Black genie to solve her problem" vibes in the trailer. Is the film something different than that?

It's decent but it didn't really stick with me.

I'd say Tilda Swinton's character comes off as asexual more than repressed.  But the movie is really more about Idris Elba's character than hers.  Her story is a framing device for his story.
