Its certainly a shame that this is an Independent movie and therefore alot of ppl wont get the chance to see it or even know it exists.

I just wanted to make a post promoting it.

I was hooked throughout the movie on the wonderful story and direction it took. It gets deep towards the end and then abruptly ends but i think i know what the director was trying to say with Crystal Fairy just walking away as the last shot.

I loved the character interactions and dialogues. And im a sucker for "group-drugs-experience" scenes/shows/movies. The movie gets it right with the stereotyping of the typical American in a Foreign land and the free-spirited weirdo woman and I liked Michael Cera in his role.

The movie is not overly ambitious and then fails to deliver like so many nowadays or too pretentious to look itself in the mirror: it gets it just right for what its trying to accomplish.

Crystal Hairy: 8/10

1/10= Toxic
3= Disappointing
5= Ok
6= Recommended
8= Excellent!
10/10= Classic.

Great movie that deserves a wider audience. If my film choices were influenced solely by synopsis or critique, I would never have bothered to see this. I think it deserves a 10 rating simply on reflection.

Revenge is a dish that best goes stale.

I enjoyed it. I literally knew nothing about it other than the Netflix synopsis and the fact that Michael Cera was in it. I thought it was going to be a lot sillier based on the premise and almost didn't bother watching it. I'm glad I did.
