Review of Ondine (2010) by Steve H — 29 Nov 2012
Bringing to life whimsical Irish folklore into a realistic, modern setting isn't easy, but Jordan succeeds in this film. The setting is breathtaking. Farrell delivers a compelling, heartfelt performance.
The tenderness and longing between Syracuse (Farrell) and Ondine (Bachleda) is raw and honest. The pace, however, is inconsistent; it's slow and terribly minimalist in parts and then abruptly switches over to high drama to force the plot forward.
If the build had been done evenly, the movie would have turned out more substantial and better rounded.
