"Erstwhile Alejandro Amenabar producer Jose Luis Cuerda returns to his favorite theme - the transformational power of a child-like imagination - in the engagingly idiosyncratic The Education of Fairies, based on the bestselling French novel."
Jonathan Holland, VARIETY
"Part whimsical fable and part affectionate human comedy, The Education of Fairies is a slight and effervescent, but charming and thoughtful demythification of a "happily ever after" romantic ideal."
