Review of Ondine (2010) by Rita C — 23 Sep 2010
Cast: Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda, Tony Curran, Tom Archdeacon, Stephen Rea, Dervla Kirwan, Alison Barry, Emil Hostina, Norma Sheahan, Don Wycherley.
Director: Neil Jordan.
Summary: An Irish fisherman (Colin Farrell) hauls in an unexpected catch when a mysterious girl (Alicja Bachleda) gets tangled in his nets and soon affects the lives of everyone around her in this fantastical seaside tale from director Neil Jordan (Interview with the Vampire). Is it possible this beautiful stranger is a mythical sea nymph who's been summoned from the ocean's depths ... or is she something far more common?
My Thoughts: "Interesting storyline and some decent characters. Colin was good in this. I really enjoyed the young actress Alison Barry. She was quite good to be so young. Reminded me of a young Dakota Fanning. New comer (well new to me) Alicja Bachleda was good in this as well. There is some humor, but in the end a great little gritty fairy tale. It's worth the rental. Plus the scenery of the Ireland valley is gorgeous throughout this film.".
