CGiii Comment

If you have had the good fortune to see Fay Presto perform...then, this film will only serve as a disappointment.

Fay is a unique talent with a unique story...Hanna Aqvilin, obviously, had no idea how to show that talent...nor, incredulously, the good sense to tease the [many] stories out of Ms Presto. Even her car [an old Triumph] has a story to tell!

Someone out there, some filmmaker...please, make the film Ms Presto deserves!

Fay Presto has dedicated her life to being an entertainer; having performed for the Queen six times and entertaining celebrities over the decades with her magic. The film touches upon gender roles and aging, and through her memories, gives us a glimpse into the more glamorous days during the 80s.
