Now I'm naturally a pretty jaded person. It think it comes with being a participant of the angry 90′s (don't worry, that's a discussion for another day). The Point is the images we see through the eyes of the fairy visiting our world makes our world look pretty amazing! I mean, I had an idea of what to expect from the story. You know, something like Splash, Little Mermaid, or the like where the fairy creature falls for the human world only to find out how bad it really it is. Instead what we have is beautiful images that really don't make this world look that bad. Of course the jaded side of me says it only proves that both worlds are fairy tales, but then its a movie, what do you expect? There is no negativity to this film and the cinematography, use of music, and lack of dialogue make it delightful. ~www.creepercast.com

A sweet and magical trip with a fairy

I really thought this sweet little film had a lot of courage to attack this subject. Faeries are said to be among us only vibrating at a higher frequency. This kind dimensional shifting is being only talked about recently- and this illustrates it in a very sweet way. The fairy is fascinated with the child and its mother, and begs the queen to let her come to our world and experience it. She is then sent back as a human where she becomes her dream. It ends with her and her baby looking down the path, where she barely recollects, kinda remembering something-- then freezes with a nice ending. It touches on the human experience- on the value of being human. Not new age creepy just simple and deliberate. The beginning is a bit slow, I got she was a fairy right away, but not sure if others would. Good festival short. I loved the music and Kate is beautiful. I thought the lack of dialog was nice. Makeup and cinematography was good too.
