Summary: A wonderful delight!
Comment: I originally saw this movie on television and had to have the DVD to watch anytime.

It is a wonderful delight and breath of fresh 'sea' air! For anyone who has grown up listening to family Irish tales, you will enjoy this movie.

It made me want to move to the Isles!

Comment: This was on my rocommend for me list because I bought Waking Ned Devine. Because it was on sale for about $5 I gave it a chance and it turned out to be a great little film. You can just read Amazon's review to see what its about, I'll just add that it is well done and nice to watch with the family.

Comment: The DVD finally arrived after several cancelled orders and it was well worth the wait. This is a beautiful, mythical fable set in the windswept outter islands of Ireland with wonderful Celtic music throughout. Not just for children, my husband loved it as I knew he would. I sent a copy to my grand-daughter, too. Not only does it transport the viewer to a world where we can believe a selkie could really exist, it is a fine example of a strong, wise, and motivated young girl. A visually beautiful film with fabulous scenery it is highly recommended.

Summary: Be sure to watch this wonderful movie!
Comment: The Secret of Roan Inish is a great film for all ages. The story involves an Irish family in exile from their ancestral home, the island of Roan Inish. The main character, Fiona, is a little girl trying to discover the truth of her family's history and, more importantly, the fate of her little brother who was swept out to sea during their evacuation from the island. The movie is steeped in Irish legend, in particular that of the Silkies-seals who turn into humans. The film wonderfully conveys the beautiful bleakness of the Irish coast and the resilient spirit of the people who live there. The Celtic soundtrack perfectly matches the spirit of the story. This movie is one of those rare films that truly enriches the viewer. Highly recommended!
