English term or phrase: quirk-ceiling
"You will need a very high ***quirk-ceiling*** and strong fey-tolerance levels to handle this fey, quirky US comedy from first-time writer-director Miranda July. It's got some funny lines, which partly mitigate its strong whiff of passive-aggressive cutesiness. It feels as if watching this will earn you credits on an American college degree course in emotional correctness."

Obrigado!

tolerância a estranhices
Explanation:
"Quirk" é uma peculiaridade, uma estranhice (https://michaelis.uol.com.br/moderno-ingles/busca/ingles-por...

Então "high quirk ceiling" poderia ser interpretado como uma alta tolerância a estranhices ou peculiaridades. Outras formas de dizer poderiam ser: alto teto de tolerância, alto nível de tolerância.

Para não repetir "tolerância" logo em sequência, eu proporia algo como "alto nível de tolerância a estranhices e [sua tradução para "fey"]"

abertura de espírito ao inesperado


Explanation:
Acho que o sentido é "abertura a um enredo com grandes reviravoltas".

Não utilizo "tolerância" porque o termo surge na mesma frase.
