The sound is what you might expect from a surveillance bug. It is pretty unique in that aspect. No clichés, no bullshit. After seeing THIS IS THE END, Michael Cera definitely became more then a simple character actor. But here, with his sophomore effort, Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus, he proffers up a real vanity project, marked by an air of unmistakable self-indulgence. But on a remote, pristine beach at the edge of the desert, the magic brew is finally imbibed, and the true adventure begins. Was this review helpful? 5 out of 9 found this helpful.

when really she's just another human being. Only the 13th Skull can theoretically restore order … Jamie (Cera) is a boorish, insensitive American twentysomething traveling in Chile, who somehow manages to create chaos at every turn. 1 out of 2 found this helpful. A small town in upstate New York plays host to its inhabitants' delusions of grandeur. NOte to this guy and most other indies don't be the writer and director or nobody can tell you how crap it is. People who have rated this movie as awful seem to maybe not understand it, maybe those people should keep to their cheap comedy American pie movies instead of getting involved in something they don't understand. Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus (Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus and 2012 as presented onscreen) is a 2013 Chilean adventure comedy film written and directed by Sebastián Silva. 22 out of 36 found this helpful. I am late seeing this flick and I must disagree with a few other reviewers and their take on this very simple yet complex movie.

Both Hoffmann and Cera are excellent playing the kind of people you might jump off a high building to avoid and the film itself isn't very pleasant. Avoid like the plague. 1 out of 2 found this helpful. The woman asks the man to trust her which the man is not sure about. Was this review helpful? Personally I found it just the kind of drugs movie to put you off drugs for life which I don't think was the director's intention. Michael Cera is somewhat fun to watch, but the film as a whole has no motive to make you enjoy it.
I'd rather lick dirt from the bottom of a muddy welly that had been used to tread through a field of cows suffering from delly belly, after eating a truck full of out of date vindaloo's that fell of a passing lorry, than be forced to carry on watching this film!! As Jamie travels in Chile, he invites an eccentric woman to join his group's quest to score a fabled hallucinogen, a move that finds him at odds with his new companion, until they drink the magic brew on a beach at the edge of the desert. The boys keep their swim trunks on. 10 out of 26 found this helpful. His family were Jewish immigrants from Russia, Austria, and Lithuania. Was this review helpful?

You talk about the slow pacing, lack of comedy, simplistic story and bad camerawork, but what really makes this movie special is not only the obvious transformation that Cera's character underwent, but also Crystal Fairy's subtle realization that she isn't some kind of special mystical being / fountain of knowledge.

A drugs movie, (the title kind of gives it away), and a road movie filmed in Chile by the Chilean director Sebastian Silva but starring Michael Cera and Gaby Hoffmann as the young Americans out to experience the ultimate high. Michael Cera goes a long way toward changing his lovable doofus image in this road trip movie with a laid back and ultimately rather sweet vibe. A story doesn't have to be about big things to be big. I think it's safe to say that negative reviewers didn't pay enough attention / aren't familiar with dissolution/transformation of the ego. I think it makes you think, makes you feel. Was this review helpful? Like its stars, the film basically meanders along with the director's brothers for company and is apparently based on a real experience Silva had. And I think this is one of my new favorite movies, I just want to watch it over and over again. It is 2020 and the apocalypse is inevitable. Hiding behind masks that cover their vulnerability, two Americans in Chile, Jamie (Michael Cera) and Crystal Fairy, a young free-spirited woman (Gaby Hoffmann), spar off against each other in Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Silva's psychedelic comedy Crystal Fairy.

Nothing happens.

Jamie's act is one of controlling, overly-aggressive behavior but not quite the "Ugly American," while Crystal's is the opposite but equally phony, a caricature of a "hippie" filled with love for everyone who spouts clichés about chakras and mother earth, walks around her hotel room naked, engages in healing rituals, and chides the others for eating junk food. Definitely felt like more of a parent than a participant in watching this film, as a lame disclaimer. For Jamie that was pretty much just a mean, impatient, closed-minded person who gets too caught up in small social mishaps. In fact it feels like something of an ego trip and one that is being made up as it goes along.

Very badly edited too I might add, but that is the least of this stinker's problems. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful?
