🎬 Fairyland

Main Cast 🎭 Scoot McNairy, Emilia Jones, Geena Davis, Adam Lambert

🎬 "Fairyland" is an intimate coming-of-age journey seen through the eyes of Alysia Abbott (Emilia Jones). Following the sudden death of her mother in the 1970s, Alysia is moved by her father, Steve (Scoot McNairy), to San Francisco. Steve, a poet and activist, chooses to raise her openly as a gay man—a radical act at the time. Their home becomes a "Fairyland" of bohemian artists, writers, and drag queens, where the traditional boundaries of parenting are blurred by a quest for personal liberation.The film’s emotional weight shifts as the decades pass. As Alysia grows into a teenager, the wonder of her unconventional childhood evolves into a complex struggle for her own identity amidst her father’s neglect and the looming shadow of the AIDS crisis. It is a story about the "cost of freedom" and the profound resilience of the father-daughter bond. Unlike many period dramas, it doesn't sanitize the past; it shows the beauty of "found family" while honestly portraying the instability that often came with it. It’s a heartbreaking yet celebratory tribute to a lost era of San Francisco. 🎬
