I saw this flick at the end of Day 1 of a Celtic Christianity retreat. It really captures the mystical qualities and that magical connection between the Celtic people and nature, especially the sea.

One of my favorite little exchanges is when Fiona (the little girl) refers to the seal she keeps seeing as Jax. Her cousin says, more than just a little annoyed, "How d'ye know his name is Jax?" She just very matter-of-factly responds, "It just is," as if he's a bonehead for questioning it.

I also like the way the crazy distant cousin who tells her the story of her lost baby brother and the selkie, and then looks at her with crazy eyes and says, "We've been waitin' for ya, Fiona," somehow knowing she will solve the mystery.
