Adam Green's Aladdin (2016). 1h 22m

“Aladdin as you have never seen it, as a parable for modern want and waste. Both grim and uplifting, the flawed characters in this film are oddly familiar, if literally cartoonish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve seen Greenu0026#39;s previous film (the Wrong Ferarri) and enjoyed it. But Adam Greenu0026#39;s Aladdin is a giant leap forward. Green himself seems to have led every aspect of this film – acting, set/costumes, music, script, and production, and the result is a unique ejection of the directoru0026#39;s brain onto the screen. Thereu0026#39;s nothing quite like this movie out there, and Iu0026#39;m disappointed it didnu0026#39;t get a bigger run in theaters. The best part is that it is never boring, as weird as it gets at times.”
