Great film
Some people would label this a children’s movie…and yet, it has all the mystery and beauty that accompanies films for adults who love poetry and traditional storytelling and classic literature. Watch this film, and you’ll get a good idea of Irish tradition and life and their constant belief in legend and lore, which has made them into the wonderful and strong race that they are today. There is a deep sense of family…a truly strong family who has clearly had its ups and downs and yet has come out even stronger than before. A family that has been through generations of change, adapted, continues to change and yet still holds onto the traditions and stories along the way. Stories that others might assume are myth and faery tales. And stories that we know aren’t anything but the truth woven into a magical tale.

In most Irish tales and legends I’ve read, there is a quest which keeps the main character(s) pushing forward through all the challenges of life. Fiona’s store in this movie is no different. She’s a little girl lost at the beginning when we meet her, wandering through the smog of the city to find some way to latch onto her father who is lost and sad with grief over a dead wife and a dead and missing baby boy. Her true quest begins when she is sent to live with her grandparents who still live by the sea. And the quest truly becomes a quest when she learns that her baby brother Jamie has been spotted on Roan Inish, the Island of the Seals where her family originated from.

The music weaves itself around the characters and the story to make it more complete than it would be without it. It is both peaceful and stirring, providing the background for the cultural ear. With the music and the intricate storytelling, one can become truly lost in this story. And truly a part of it.

If I had children, this is one movie I would have them watch over and over again. Like Disney’s “Darby O’Gill and the Little People,” this is a movie to entertain children of all ages.

Excellent
The reviewer who reveals his ignorance by decrying, “What’s a selkie?” and then proceeds to place both feet in his mouth, should bother to read a bit of Irish folklore. A selkie is NOT what some suggest, a half seal, half human. A selkie is a spirit which can take the body of a seal and a woman. It is the celtic counterpart to the Greek sirens or the oceanides, river spirits, to the Japanese kawakami, the Basque Lamiñak and others. Shapeshifters abound in folklore and this story winds around such a tale. Bored? Go watch one of those mindless teenage slice’n dice films and leave this gentle tale about a little girl’s odyssey in a breathtakingly beautiful setting in a wonderful land to children of all ages. My grandfar came from County ‘Derry (what the Protestants call Londenderry) in Northern Ireland near Lough Boyle and told me stories as a child that were as gentle and awesome as this. This is a fine film. Not as goofy as Waking Ned Devine, as wacky as the Purple Taxi, as wrenching as Angela’s Ashes or as poignant as The Quiet Man. But, it wasn’t meant to be. It is wonderful. Check it out.
