A terrific balance between the mysterious and hopeful, MY TRUE FAIRYTALE follows Angie Goodwin, a 17-year-old who vanishes after a horrific accident in the close-knit town of Gardenland, FL. As the police, her family, and friends search for her, she embarks on her own mysterious journey to "save the world" and fulfill her childhood fantasy of becoming... a superhero. Angie discovers that she has incredible abilities and looks for ways to help everyone, as those around her deal with her disappearance. Driven by his own deeply personal story of losing his young daughter to a car accident, writer/director D.Mitry's debut feature is a mystical and uplifting tragedy that reminds us that we all have the power to be our own superheroes if we embrace the power of love.

Film Frenzy

The filming was most likely a cathartic experience, but that doesn’t change the fact that the movie isn’t particularly memorable.

Rated: 2/4

This passion project is far from perfect, but it has a lot of heart and, with that in mind, will be particularly moving for parents.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

I can't put my finger exactly on what that was, but I often found myself feeling disconnected from the characters and their plight.

Cinemalogue

The film's convoluted attempt to find hope amid the heartbreak suffers from calculated emotional payoffs, while the reliance on self-help chestnuts feels more pretentious than profound.

So saccharine that the Hallmark Channel would have turned it down.

The story is haphazard and disjointed with unnecessary subplots. It's overly preachy and heavy handed in a love them while they're here way. Just a waste of time.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
