3/10
Watch a different movie
1 July 2023
Maybe I wouldn't have rated this so low if I hadn't seen a far superior rendering of this story. Despite some great actors (Peter O'Toole), and pretty scenery, FairyTale: A True Story is syrupy, lame, full of banal dialogue, and just plain boring. Movie sticks in plot points (someone died) to try and flesh out characters, but that's just how it feels - a plot point stuck in with no development.

Watch instead, "Photographing Fairies". A movie that achieves a tone both of mystery, and the sadness and grief that propels some to want to believe in "something more" , and others who feel their bitterness and cynicism is justified.

Problem is, I can't find "Photographing Fairies" anywhere to watch.
