Ondine
Crit
Neil Jordan makes magic, Colin Farrell makes sensitive, and Alicja Bachleda makes a very convincing selkie. A delightfully implausible tale, with strong performances also by Alison Barry as the Farrell character's bad-kidneyed kid and Stephen Rea as a bewildered but pragmatic parish priest. With the World Cup, the Mets, and the International Festival of Arts and Ideas competing for my attention, I had to limit myself to one movie home and one away, and this was a happy choice for the latter.
