This had a great message but it became lost along the way. Although said to be based on the true achievements of Mary Reynolds, the effect of the "fairies" was disastrous on the plot line, stretching credibility to breaking point.

Despite the fast pace and frenetic editing, what could have still been salvageable with the apparent sincerity of the female lead and supporting cast was rendered a lost cause by the appalling male lead with no character depth at all whose chief contribution was a succession of attempts at smouldering looks that became incredibly annoying.

Of course, all films are built on an investment of time, talent, money, and emotion and so it is difficult to be negative about the hard work that goes into them. However, in this film the potential was simply not realized.

I was really enjoying this film as a biopic of someone I'd never heard of before, until she shows up at the Collard farm (Future Forests) in Bantry, and then things got weird because Mike Collard is in no way an odd hipster dude. I worked at Future Forests for a week. He's a hardworking typical Englishman, and his wife Cathy a typical homemaker. Christy wasn't there when I was there, so I borrowed his bed. He had a little sister who was about five, maybe seven. I give four stars, but would have given more if the director had not re-created these folks into peculiar oddballs.

This Biografy is not good, because more on personaly biografy was cut and prodject on gardian won"t show!
