Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus

"The semi-improvised plot is thinner than Cera's man-boy face-fluff, but Silva's curio works best as a free-wheeling character piece, splicing oddball comedy with discreet depths."

"A small, lovely road movie."

"It pootles around in vaguely trippy fashion, relying on loose improvisation as the characters variously get on each other's nerves (and ours) before reaching a collective one-ness with the universe. Or something."

"Crystal Fairy is an acid trip where the frequent bonhomie is doused by sobering introspection."

"Even with shaggy, semi-improvised projects like Crystal Fairy, there's a need for some kind of conclusion, and Silva devises one that's simultaneously terribly contrived and by far the most powerful scene in the movie."

"A trip worth taking."
