Summary:
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco's vibrant cultural scene in the 1970s and '80s, Fairyland chronicles a father and daughter relationship as it evolves through an era of bohemian decadence to the sober and heartbreaking era of the AIDS crisis. Based on the best-selling memoir Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father by Alysia Abbott.

Durham’s direction is sensitive and assured, and he does a great job mixing his location work with archival footage to create an authentic sense of what San Francisco was like during those times. This is not one of those movies that shoots in the city for two days then absconds to Vancouver for the rest of the shoot. This is a Bay Area movie through and through.
