Customer Reviews

Ondine has a great storyline & fun to watch

This is a fun movie, a little bit of a love story, great character presentations and good acting by main actors. I've probably watched it about 8 times, so far, and will enjoy it again next time.

Is she or isn’t she?

An Irish fisherman played by Colin Farrell hauls up an interesting prize in his trawler net. It is a beautiful creature named Ondine (Alicja Bachleda). Ondine means from the sea. She seems a little awkward about the world. So, when the fisherman tells his daughter (Alison Barry) the tale, she knows he found a selkie, a mythical sea creature with powers and abilities. The fisherman is starting to see things through his daughter’s eyes, and so are we. Will the selkie stay for the allotted seven years or be carried away by her sea husband? Let’s hope everything turns out all right as in a fairytale. The highlight of the film for me is the encounters of the fisherman Syracuse and the local priest, played by Stephen Rea.
