Beautiful Modern Faery Tale
Added 11/1/2009
I really enjoy Celtic Folk tales / Mythology, and have loved books by Morgan LLewellen, and also original works of my favorite author, CJ Cherryh. Tales about magical creatures like Pookas and Selkies, are both interesting and a lot of fun.
The Secret of Roan Inish is such a modern (20th Century) tale of a Selkie who in her beautiful human form, becomes a gentetic matriarch of a family and her gifts are passed down once per generation. After the the tiny island of Roan Inish is evacuated due to WWII and the tragic loss at see of a family menber, the family is never the same and no one ever returns until magic and fate step in.
This is a family friendly movie but not especially a kid movie.
4 1/2*

Secret of Roan Irish
Added 9/18/2009
I bought this for my dtr's birthday as she has the soundtrack. She loves the music and the story. I have not seen this DVD but I have listened to the music and I like it a lot. I think it is eerie sounding but not in a bad way, it fits the story perfectly. But alas! I was looking in her DVD cabinet when I was up to her house a couple days ago and she already has the DVD!! So I either will give it to her anyway or I will keep it myself and get her something else for her birthday in Nov.

A powerful movie with a great fantasy story behind it. I could watch this movie over and over again. The acting is superb.

A Beautiful Touching Movie
Added 9/1/2009
Many people have reviewed this movie. I will be brief. The story is very moving, the photography and music beautiful and acting supurb. This moivie is among my favorites. it is an Irish legend that you will never forget. I found it helpful to put on the English subtitles because of the Irish accents. I don't want to tell too much about the story, it speaks for itself and will move you to tears of joy as it goes on.
