Ondine

Actors:  Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda, Stephen Rea, Dervla Kirwan, Don Wycherley, Carrie Crowley, Alison Barry
Rating:  7 out of 10, I just kind of wandered into this movie.  I struggled at first with the thick Irish accents but they grow on you.  This is a side of Ireland rarely seen but still starkly and achingly beautiful despite the human wreckage strewn throughout.  The story centers around a woman fisherman Farrell hoists from the deep in his nets and whom his young, disabled daughter is convinced is a mythical creature.  There’s just enough doubt allowed, mainly through the superstitious fishing village, to make the story work.  I ended up really liking this.
MVP:  Bachleda in the title role keeps the answer to her true identity interestingly obscure
