one of the thing i love about the irish culture be it rich legend and storytelling . this story follow fiona ( jeni courtney ) who have return from the city with her father to live with her grandparent . they have previously live on the island of roan inish and but be now live on the mainland . the director and john sayles and bring u a version of the legend of the selkie and a creature that be half seal half human . i find this movie to be very heartwarming and rich in irish culture and but not in a sappy way . jeni courtney turn in an excellent and completely believable performance a fiona who learn about the legend of the selkie and use it to find her little brother jimmy who have disappear at sea at an infant . the irish landscape and sea be gorgeously film and it a if you be there in ireland learn about the legend yourself through the eye of fiona . half ( out of 4 ) .
