Fridge / FairyTale: A True Story

• In reality the girls admitted that the photographs were fake (though Frances maintained that the fairy bath was genuine) but not that the fairies themselves were. The Brilliance comes in with the fact that the girls are never seen taking the photographs in the films. A reporter also finds cardboard cut-outs of fairies in Joseph's room. The viewer can intuit a sensible explanation; the fairies are real, but don't show up on film, so the girls have been photographing paper models made to resemble the real fairies they and Joseph saw.
