An Irish fisherman played by Colin Farrell hauls up an interesting prize in his trawler net. It is a beautiful creature named Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) Ondine means from the sea. She seems a little awkward of the world. So when the fisherman tells his daughter (Alison Barry) the tale she knows he found a selkie, a mythical sea creature with powers and abilities. The fisher man is starting to see things through his daughter's eyes and so are we. Will the selkie stay for the allotted seven years or be carried away by her sea husband? Let's hope everything turns out all right as in a fairytale.
The highlight of the film for me is the encounters of the fisherman Syracuse and the local priest played by Stephen Rea.

I found the movie almost boring. The characters seemed flat. The movie lacked energy and depth. Farrel's performance was disappointing. None of the plots come strongly through. Perhaps I had a bad day, but this movie failed to move me or even just entertain.

What I expected from Ondine was a mystical Irish folk tale, as the trailer suggests. It delivers in part, but ultimately debunks the more fantastical elements of the story that I rather liked. For me, this was disappointing, but maybe others will see it as an improvement.
The acting was decent in terms of the three leads, but between the mumbling Irish accents and low vocal audio level, I had to keep English subtitles on in order to follow. Some scenes were good, some scenes were bad, some were just unnecessary. Overall, I rate it as extremely average. I would rather that I rented it, instead of bought it.
