Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived an enchanting pixie named Lily. She had sparkling wings and a mischievous smile, always ready for an adventure. Lily loved exploring the forest and discovering new secrets hidden within its depths. One sunny day, while exploring a particularly thorny part of the forest, Lily stumbled upon a magical cactus. The cactus stood tall and proud, adorned with vibrant blooms in the most exquisite colors. It seemed to pulsate with an otherworldly energy.

Apparently a huge amount of fun was had with Cera actually living with Silva in Chile for a few months, most of the lines being adlibbed and no doubt, they really did get fucked up on cactus.

It seemed to pulsate with an otherworldly energy. Intrigued by its mystical allure, Lily couldn't resist investigating further. As Lily approached the magical cactus, she heard a faint whisper in the wind, "Help us, fair pixie.

CRYSTAL FAIRY AND THE MAGICAL CACTUS: THE SALTY POPCORN REVIEW – MOVIE POSTER
REVIEW BY JK
CRYSTAL FAIRY AND THE MAGICAL CACTUS is written and directed by Sebastián Silva (Magic Magic, The Maid) and is a take on his actual journey backpacking through Chile. He really did meet “Crystal Fairy” on his journeys. It is arrogant youth travelling through the countryside trying to get high and experience the joys of no responsibility in life while letting loose. For that it could be fun and an experience I would love to have.
The lead character, Michael Cera is most of the times hysterical in film. I thoroughly enjoy him on film and he was one of the reasons I was attracted to this film, but his character is so annoying and frustrating and self centred I just wanted to punch him in the throat. He is boorish and selfish and basically, a true arrogant asshole, and this is where the film turned for me. He was so annoying I just did not want him to talk. Yes, it was his character, and he did it justice, but when you do not want the lead character in the film to talk you end up in trouble.
CRYSTAL FAIRY AND THE MAGICAL CACTUS: THE SALTY POPCORN REVIEW – MICHAEL CERA HUGGING THE CACTUS
The Chilean mates in the film are harmless support but you hardly even notice them, they are just the travelling partners. Then there is Gaby Hoffman as Crystal Fairy, she owns this film – I loved her onscreen, ok, excluding her huge hairy armpits and vagina getting a lot of screen time. But she is remarkable in this performance, she is trippy and out there and basically feminist insane and is treated like shit by Jamie (Cera). Like most things she takes it in her stride of worldly experience but she was the only thing that kept me interested in this film.
The making of this film was more enjoyable to read about than the film itself. Apparently a huge amount of fun was had with Cera actually living with Silva in Chile for a few months, most of the lines being adlibbed and no doubt, they really did get fucked up on cactus.

The film itself lacked direction and was instead randomly spontaneous in its creation as it was in its dialogue. Considering it was basically made on the fly with a general plot in mind the film is quite passable. But Cera was too annoying for me and the film’s purpose was pretty much nonexistent and silly. The film is no Fear and Loathing for South American Cactus and is instead a travel journal video from an annoying arrogant American twenty something. This will appeal to a lot of people though, as it does contain a lot of humour, just get past Cera and you will be fine 🙂
