It's Wednesday, I know. Whatever. Days aren't real.Fiona (Jeri Courtney) is sent to live with her grandparents on the coast of Ireland after her widowed father takes to the drink. There she learns that they used to live on an island called Roan Inish, famed for legends of selkies, seals that shed their skin and become beautiful women. Fiona becomes convinced that the seals that still live there have been raising her baby brother, Jamie (Cillian Byrne), who was lost at sea when they moved from the island.
Most of this movie is just people telling folk stories and it's still fucking magical because of their accents. Honestly, this is like aural Xanax. Just fucking soothing on the ears. And it's a kids movie, so you can throw it on and just kind of sit back.
I've had this on my TBW list for something like eight years because it's so hard to find and then Amazon dropped it on Prime this month. Who the hell knows how long it's going to be there, so I'd watch it soon-ish if you've got a mind to.
