Neil Jordan Movie ONDINE : Syracuse (Colin Farrell) and his daughter Annie (Alison Barry) believe
the woman he caught in his fishing net is a mythical creature called a Selke!
Hellacious Movies Movie Review: The ocean and Irish coastline was gloriously triumphant as
the scenic backdrop for this celtic tale of love and legend! According to legend The Selke is a female
seal creature that can temporarily become human by removing its seal coat! There was a magical quality
and tone throughout ONDINE! The movie never asked you to believe, your belief was automatic! I don't
know if most caught that fact! The way the story was orchestrated made believing in the legend a given!
Alison Barry's performance was brilliant! And I look forward to watching her brilliance continue to blossom in
future films! I absolutely loved the film and then suddenly it all went to hell! Heavens to Murgatroyds I can't
believe Neil Jordan sabotaged his own film! And he royally succeeded in ticking this movie critic off BIG TIME!!!
He probably spends his weekends kicking his neighbors dog, or telling little kids Santa's Dead!
