A Celtic Tale.......2007-07-11

First I would like to say that this made for TV Hallmark movie has a production value that is good enough for the big screen. Scott Glenn gives a fine performance of a fisherman pinning away for his dead wife. He feels his heart and soul is gone and he will never love again. Saffron Burrows plays a Seltie who is trapped on land in her human form, she has no understanding of love. But they are the ill-fated catalyst that each other need to learn that the soul does not die. And the heart has an infinite capacity for love.

The movie also shows a stark contrast between good and evil, not subtly in this movie. It is an old romance movie that would have found its heyday a couple of generations ago. I was pleasantly surprised it was made today. This movie is worth watching with your loved one. I am sure your library will have a copy of this movie.

Bizare.......2006-11-06

Could not get into this movie. It was too bizare. I didn't even finish watching it. A dark movie...

An excellent-if somewhat strange-movie. Scott Glenn does an excellent job, as does Saffron Burrows. She manages a wild sort of beauty in this quite fitting for the plot.

Mmm-great story.......2006-06-11

Good, good movie. A dour, silent fisherman still mourning his wife falls in love with a selkie, a woman from the sea, almost on first sight, and gradually their love grows until they will give up anything for each other. But will it be enough to keep them together against all odds? This is not a fabulous or even a superb movie. But it is an unusual and moving romance, carried along particularly by its stunning cinematography and Saffron Burrows' performance as the wild but gentle selkie. Scott Glenn gives a good solid performance as always, and a haunting music score carries it along. I gave it less than four stars because a lot of Scott's lines and dialogue were pretty bad, and it was a little slow-paced. But for anyone who enjoys Hallmark, is a sucker for romance, or just wants something a little different, this is the movie for you.
