About this movie

Do you believe? Young Frances and Elsie do. They say they've encountered the supernatural. They've met fairies. The photos the girls take of the winged beings put them at the center of a real-life controversy that sweeps England during World War I. Everyone is caught up in the excitement, including two of the era's most renowned men: Sherlock Holmes' author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Peter O'Toole) and master illusionist Harry Houdini (Harvey Keitel). Are the girls' photos real or a clever hoax? One thing is for sure: with enchantment, a sense of wonder and glorious special effects, FairyTale: A True Story is superb family entertainment.

The fairy's scene is my favorite part of this film and where one of the girls interacts with them. There's a slit possibility that fairies do exist.

I wish I can watch the movie period I rented it and then I closed out of it and now it's making me try to rent it again. I only have 48 hours to watch the movie. is there anybody that can help me figure out how I can find the movie that I rented so I don't have to rent it again? I even tried to rent it again and it won't allow me to do that
