Guided by a fairy that only she can see, a young girl brings joy, wonder and healing back to a broken family.

Kimber Myers

Los Angeles Times

While "The Storyteller" aspires to be a feature-length Hallmark card, it only manages dollar-store sentimentality in its plot and platitudes.

While The Storyteller hardly breaks any new ground in its Peter Pan-inspired tale, it boasts an undeniable sweetness that proves appealing amidst so many frenetic kids movies.

An enchanting if uneven fairytale which captures you in its spell but doesn't linger long.

Rated: 3/5

The Storyteller is a movie that conveniently believes only those who want to see magic in the world can see it.

The Cinema Soloist

In his first narrative feature, Emmy-nominated director Joe Crump shows that you can depict magic without the ostentatious use of special effects to tell a story. You can use the power of storytelling, music, as well as the right actors.

Pleasant change from the violence, sex, serial killers and drugs in many movies. Quiant.

It was so cute even though the acting wasn't brilliant and the story was a bit light & cheesy.

Delightful tale of an old spirit in a young girl. Abby is led to a better life by a fairy light, and heals many broken people on her path. Great family movie; sure to become a classic.
