David Jenkins Little White Lies 08/09/2022
It’s easy to tag anything vaguely psychedelic with the “head trip” label, but this journey into the depths of the political beyond certainly earns it, and then some. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 08/09/2022
It’s a pleasure to see Sokurov back in such mischievous form. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Jan 15
As with most of [Aleksandr Sokurov's] work, it casts a hypnotic spell you can resist and be bored by, or surrender and enjoy a singular, mystical, aesthetically striking experience. Go to Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy 03/10/2023
3.5/5
You might wonder if Fairytale might not have worked better as a short. It is, however, what it is, and it is 100% a Sokurov film. Go to Full Review Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine 11/09/2022
Fairytale is not so much a phantasmagoria as a reality inevitably deformed by wear and tear, an impossible fiction that never fully starts, or that constantly restarts, because it no longer even finds its place in time.

Fairytale once again invites viewers into [Sokurov's] familiar domain, but with fresher artistic vision and aesthetic innovation than what we’ve seen before. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
