The Seventh Stream Reviews: An Excellent Irish Style Movie on Mermaids/Selkies 2008-02-15 - I highly recommend this movie to all who are favorably interested in Good Selkie/Mermaid movies. The plot is very well done following the myths and legends well. The setting in Ireland is also excellent. During the movie the Selkie speaks alittle about her world/home, and she uses her magic to help two humans in need. The movie also involves a love story.
A Celtic Tale 2007-07-10 - 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 2006-11-05 - Could not get into this movie. It was too bizare. I didn't even finish watching it. A dark movie...
The Seventh Stream 2006-08-05 - 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.
Wonderful Irish Movie 2006-06-22 - A wonderful movie about love that doesn't die because of separation.A must watch for all Irish.
