Song of the Sea

Crit

My second Irish Oz movie in a week. The other was a lot scarier and a lot better. 

I'm sure this film--nominated for an animated feature Oscar®--about a half-human, half-selkie child trying to find her destiny or whatever, has warmed many a heart and charmed many a stony cynic. Not, alas, this stony cynic or his cold heart. A second-rate Disney playbook ripoff, complete with absent parent.
