A Fairy Tale (2021) is an intriguing blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy. The narrative weaves through the life of Coco, a thirty-something who believes she’s a fairy. Juan, the apprentice filmmaker, captures her world with an almost documentary-style intimacy, and that’s where things get interesting. The pacing feels loose yet purposeful, allowing us to linger in Coco's whimsical yet disenchanted view of reality. It’s a film that treads into the surreal, using practical effects sparingly but effectively, which gives it a raw, genuine feel. The performances are quite compelling, especially from Coco, who embodies her character with a fascinating mix of vulnerability and whimsy. It's distinctive in its exploration of belief and societal marginalization.
