CRYSTAL FAIRY

"Hedonistic Holiday Brings Happiness to No One"

What You Need To Know:

CRYSTAL FAIRY centers on an American in his 20s named Jamie. Jamie travels to Chile to experiment with a cactus juice that’s supposed to have intense psychedelic effects on those who consume it. He hires three local men to help guide him through the country. They stumble across a female hippie, who calls herself Crystal Fairy and forces herself into their quest. Her bizarre behavior at first leads the men to mock her. However they eventually start to worry about and ultimately care for Crystal as she reveals dark secrets from her past.

CRYSTAL FAIRY has an original if immoral story, but it’s told in such a slow, rambling style that it’s often boring. The central character, Jamie, is a self-absorbed, amoral, unsympathetic person. Until she reveals dark secrets about her past, Crystal Fairy is even more annoying. The near-complete lack of moral concerns by the movie’s characters makes CRYSTAL FAIRY unworthy viewing. Add to that excessive foul language, lewd content, nudity, and drug references. Only Gaby Hoffman’s vivid performance as the title character offers anything of value in CRYSTAL FAIRY.

More Detail:

CRYSTAL FAIRY is the story of an American male in his 20s who travels to Chile to test the highly psychedelic effects of consuming the juice of a rare cactus and the misadventures he experiences when he meets a mysterious female hippie. CRYSTAL FAIRY has a highly Romantic worldview underscored by highly Pagan undertones.

The very simple story, which feels almost improvised around a few essential scenes, centers on an American in his 20s named Jamie. Jamie travels to Chile to experiment with a cactus that’s supposed to have intense psychedelic effects on those who consume it. He hires three local men to help guide him through the country. They stumble across a female hippie who calls herself Crystal Fairy and forces herself into their quest. Her bizarre behavior at first leads the men to mock her, but they eventually start to worry about and ultimately care for her as she reveals dark secrets from her past.

CRYSTAL FAIRY has an original if immoral premise, but is told in such a slow and rambling style that it’s often boring. Its central character, Jamie, is a self-absorbed, amoral person who’s unsympathetic and hard to care about. Until she reveals dark secrets about her past, Crystal Fairy is even more annoying.

The near-complete lack of moral concerns by the movie’s characters makes CRYSTAL FAIRY unworthy of viewing by those who care about morality. At the same time, its lack of compelling storylines and sympathetic characters makes it unworthy viewing for others, with only Gaby Hoffman’s vivid performance as Crystal offering anything of artistic value. CRYSTAL FAIRY is so slow and rambling that it’s pretty boring and contains extreme foul language, sex, nudity, and drug references.
