Go on, tell us her REAL name…
Gaby Hoffman makes this film. She parades around naked, seemingly in a permanent state of euphoria, extolling the most hippy dippy claptrap philosophies about inner peace and finding yourself since the Swingin’ Sixties. When she isn’t behaving like a Looney Toon, she can be discovered doodling away in her sketchbook, which is full of oblique drawings. And her armpit hair! I hope that forest of follicles is fake… Otherwise Hoffman must have had to use fertiliser to grow it that thick. I bet the second the movie was complete, those shears were out and moving at a record speed.

She is accompanying Michael Cera and his three rather underdrawn Mexican friends on a quest to find a rare cacti plant, which when liquidised and drunk. is supposed to give you the ultimate high. They plan to imbibe this miracle brew on the beach, under the stars… the setting is everything, right? Cera himself has shades of being a public school boy twit… you can tell by his put-on mannerisms and his laboured talk about drugs he’s completely out of his depth. He reminds me of the kid in the video for ‘Pretty Fly For A White Guy’, in that every scene of him trying to be ‘cool’ is Cringe City.

The story is simple in structure, has no big surprises along the way and probably could be told in half the length. Yet, there is something oddly endearing about these five young wash-outs… (Not Cera though, he’s just annoying) their friendship and journey is enough to keep all but the most impatient viewer glued to the screen. And when Crystal Fairy’s tragic past is exposed towards the end, it is a highly effective moment which, in hindsight, explains an awful lot. Can you say ‘coping mechanism’? You could, and I suspect you’d be correct. 6/10

Sebastián Silva pulls a Magic Magic Magical Cactus out of his hat!
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.

Once again Sebastián Silva is offering up questions on youth and how youth sees the world around them. Jamie is obviously a self centered person with a limited experience in communicating with others (sort of like the US) (as Jamie is an American) and we can see this in his ‘attitude’ throughout the story. The other three boys have had to share with others and they try to make the best of their trip to the beach. Jamie, on the other hand insist they do it as planed.

Enter Crystal Fairy into this mix and you already have an altered perception of exactly what they want to do – she is like the drug reduced from the cactus later in the story (she has an altered view of reality). She wants to share everything the three other boys don’t seem to mind. Jamie can’t tolerate it – he wants none of her.

Crystal mothers them, she wants to know them, the boys are like children to her – yet she is very childlike herself. Jamie suddenly wants to be friends with her but only when he’s ‘high’, after he comes down he’s back to his original self. Crystal leaves quietly, Jamie sees her leave and calls her name, Crystal disappears behind a rock.

What is Silva showing us here? Crystal is the personality of many different people, she’s giving, caring, willing to accept life on her own and take risks – and being alone isn’t easy, she is alone throughout the movie and Jamie thinks she’s a phony. Jamie cannot see that he is the phony because in the end Crystal is what Jamie was seeking in the brewed Cactus they drink and even when high he could not accept it.
