This copy was to replace my personal one, that I had given to a friend, now a mother of two, who had loved the film when we first saw it together when she was younger than the girl in the story. I also sent one to another friend, a prominent filmmaker, as much because of the commentary by the auteur John Sales as for the enchanting story, He details the difficulties involved in filming this modern telling of a lovely Irish folk tale on that wild North Sea coast and especially of the brilliant solutions to those problems by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler and other technical people. It's a gift for everyone from young children to film buffs and techie geeks! And the prices make multi-gifting easy! Get out your Santa lists, people!

An absolutley intriguing "little tail". The background of the Irish countyside is simply charming. The actors played their roles with exceptional grace and determination, expecially the young ones. A real exception in films today. Family orientated, clean, and geared toward anyone with a sense of mystery and intrigue. I enjoyed this flick so much, I purchased it!. Have not seen a film which captivates the spirit of the Irish people since Waking Ned Devine. One drawback, the Irish Brouge is so thick you need to put on the captions, at least for the first viewing. Mistifying film!.
Fable of Puirt a buile(by way of mouth)Irish storytelling about a child lost at sea and lives with the seals on Roan Inish told to a young girl who is encapsulated by a story told by her grandparents.Very well acted, wonderful music score, and a beautiful story takes you back to childhood and the stories of old told by grsndparents, and the stories you still dream of and still want to believe even long after you have grown up. Charming, warm and beautiful story set in beautiful ancient landscapes, remenants of and lost history and traditions which live only in story have you travelling, dreaming and longing to Roan Inish.
I loved it!! it really brings to life the irish tales of the silky, and the music, the scenery, are incredible! It is a great family film. I wish we had more films like this one!! It has the joy, the undimmed sense of wonder, the adventure, and the deep sense of family and tradition the irish have. Get this for the whole family, especially the kids, and enjoy!!
The scenery is just as compelling as the tale. If you love stories that include a little of the folklore of old, such as selkies, and location as beautiful as the west coast of Ireland, you will love this movie. Just a wonderful story,
