Fairyland - starring Scott McNairy and Emilia Jones - is an excellent mother-daughter story about the difficulties in trying to figure out who you are. Our Sundance review:
Fairyland, the directorial debut of Andrew Durham, starts with Alysia learning that her mother has died in a car crash. She overhears her father Steve on the phone, getting the details of the accident that will leave her motherless, and will throw her life in an entirely new direction.
Like in CODA, Jones plays the daughter of a family whose methods she questions beautifully. Here, she's asked to almost be the adult in this relationship, as her father returns home in the middle of the night, and usually putting his own interests ahead of his daughter. But especially as the story progresses, Jones does an excellent job of the duality of difficult parents—the struggle of hating their choices and how they might act, but still loving them unconditionally.
When Jones and McNairy are playing off each other, Fairyland really finds the beauty of this story. Especially in the third act, as this relationship becomes more difficult and uncertain, both present themselves as people who struggle with the balance of doing what's right for themselves and doing what's right for each other.
