Oh, look, another movie produced by the one and only Sofia Coppola! 🙄 You know, the genius behind cinematic masterpieces like… well, Lost in Translation. 🎉 This time, she’s gracing us with “Fairyland,” based on some memoir by Alysia Abbott. Apparently, it’s a coming-of-age story set in San Francisco during the ’70s and ’80s. Prepare for a cinematic experience that will either bore you to tears or make you question your life choices! 🤷‍♀️

This cinematic triumph chronicles the oh-so-unique father-daughter relationship against the backdrop of “bohemian decadence” (read: people having fun) and the “sober and heartbreaking era of the AIDS crisis” (because nothing says entertainment like a good dose of reality). Get ready for feels! Or maybe just a nap. 😴

We already subjected ourselves to this cinematic wonder at Sundance London, so you don’t have to! You can read our review here if you’re desperate for something to do, like maybe clean your bathroom or count ceiling tiles. Trust us, you’ll find it more stimulating.🚽

Starring Emilia Jones (because CODA was such a hit, right?), Scoot McNairy (who?), Cody Fern (from “American Horror Story,” so expect some screaming), Maria Bakalova (The Apprentice…wait, what?), Bella Murphy (Coming 2 America, a cinematic triumph for the ages!), with Adam Lambert (because why not throw in a singer?) and Geena Davis (who probably needed a paycheck) and introducing Nessa Dougherty (because everyone starts somewhere, even in potential cinematic disasters). The film is written, produced, and directed by Andrew Durham, who clearly has a lot of free time on their hands.🎬

Fairyland graces US cinemas on 10th October 2025. Mark your calendars! Or don’t. We really don’t care. 🗓️
