Movie Reviews

Film.com - 9/10 by Jordan HoffmanIt is a shaggy dog road movie, and a drug-hazy one at that, but beneath the silliness and character-based gags, Crystal Fairy is, I feel, an unusually insightful look at self-imposed false identities and group dynamics.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Michael O'SullivanPart drug comedy, part psychological drama, the movie is slight, but only superficially so. As the closing credits role, we’re left not with a sense of a day at the beach, but of what might be swimming out there, in the dark of the abyss.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Alan ScherstuhlThe film is often beautiful and appealingly light. Every clear-eyed insight into why pushy people insist on pushing is matched by loose ensemble humor and lyric reveries.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Christy LemireThe result is a movie that ambles and takes its time, never revealing where it's going.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughSilva doesn’t resort to any fancy tricks to depict his characters’ inner experiences. But something happens nonetheless, a bonding of sorts that is almost, if not quite, convincing.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Marc MohanWith barely a hint of trippy visuals, it captures the highs and lows of one mind-expanding surfside day.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by A.A. DowdFor a moment, Crystal Fairy looks like it’s going to be a real fish-in-a-barrel satire, its rifles aimed at two very easy targets. But once a coked-out Cera invites Hoffmann on his road trip, a voyage he hopes will culminate with the consumption of a psychotropic cactus, the film gains a ramshackle quality that’s difficult to resist.
NPR - 8/10 by Joel ArnoldOn their own, Crystal and Jamie might be two of the worst road-trip companions imaginable; when one gets going, it's easy to identify with the other's frustration. But together — fueled by drugs, forced to share a space, separated from what they take for granted — they reconsider how they value the people who are not ... them.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Andrew O'HehirIt leaves you with provocative questions and memorable images rather than neatly wrapped answers, and with that feeling of imprecise mystery I remember so well from my own youthful experiences: Something beautiful and evanescent just happened, or almost happened. But you can’t describe it, and if you try to seize it, it vanishes into sand and salt and sun.
Rolling Stone - 8/10 by Peter TraversCera, still one of a kind and still making us love him for it (Arrested Development – yes!), never flinches. Jamie is impossible to like. And yet we do because Cera plays him without an ounce of bogus ingratiation. He's terrific.
