Daily Recommendation: CRYSTAL FAIRY & THE MAGICAL CACTUS

On a trip through Chile a boorish American expat named Jamie (Michael Cera, Arrested Development) and three Chilean brothers plan to set off in search of the prized San Pedro cactus and its promise of beachy hallucinations. But in the previous night’s drunken stupor Jamie invites a free- spirited fellow American (Gaby Hoffmann, Transparent) along on their mescaline-driven road trip, and her devil-may-care worldview gives them more of an adventure than any of them had bargained for. Winner of the Cinema Dramatic Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival, Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus by Chilean director Sebastián Silva (The Maid) is a “hilarious drug-fueled road movie” (IndieWire).
