I have spent a number of summers in County Donegal. It was the perfect location for this film. Ireland is rich in tradition and folk lore which makes it a believable place for The Secret of Roan Inish be be located. I loved revisiting parts of Ireland through this film.

Good movie and all. A little drab. But it had to take
guts to do what the actor for Jamie did toward the end.
Full nudity and all

Roan Inish is my favorite movie! It is splendidly
photagraphed and the music is awesome! I love the story and
the landscape.

It was alright. I am not of Irish decent which made it a
little difficult to understand their ways, however, it was
a nice film.

i loved that movie it was cool man it just touched my heart
about how such a young girl had so much potential.

I saw it with Maryanne at Cremorne and we both thought it
was wonderful. Awsome landscape. Strange story though!

I thought this movie really showed nothing more than the
fact that John Sayles has never been a very good director.
The dialogue was cliche ridden, "superstitious old man",
"like cows with wings...like cows with wings." Give me a
break. I walked out of it.

My daughter and I enjoyed this excellent film, which we saw
on video. We knew of the Selkie before seeing it, and we
found the resolution satisfying. The understated acting was
a pleasure to watch, as was the girl's conviction in the
truth of her senses, both the usual five and others. Moving
and charismatic. Highly recomme

Beautiful scenery and music. It was wonderful to see
children so industrious to put the old cottages back in
shape. My husband has now watched it three or four times. I
think he's pondering taking the next flight to Ireland!
He's never been there but I have and it is all second
nature to me. We loved this film.

This little film has a big heart and true to many celtic
traditions. If you are interested in celtic culture and
particularly Irish culture, this film will be refreshing.
It's a nice reprieve from the violent and meaningless films
that are so often made these days. Enjoy the sights,
sounds, and stories. There is something for everyone.

This is my favorite movie of all time. I love this movie and can see it again and again. My grandfather John Feeney believe a lot of the folk tales such as this. Just makes ya want tolive by the sea, in Ireland, of course.

jerry mosley | 6:46 a.m. May 15, 2000

great I am wondering if this film is based on the history
of
Colonsay, Scotland. It sounds as if it is about the early
families , McHalffeys, McFees, etc. Any information would
be
appreciated.

Beautiful is story, scenery, and myth!! A must see!!

Imogene | 1:31 a.m. May 28, 2000

Very enchanting. A 'must see' film!

Katrina | 5:07 p.m. June 5, 2000

I love the movie. It truely shows the myths and history of
Ireland. Its one of the best Irish oreinted movie i have
seen yet!! :)

Marc is right. It's not often a movie studio can find a
little child willing to get in front of a camera and
strangers and fully expose themself. I have kids and they
make a fuss at the doctor. This must be a child who loves
performing for him to expose his penis to a movie camera
that people will no doubt see. Most movies have trouble
even show nipples or buttocks on a male child and so does
the child. Good actor. Lots of adults wouldn't have taken
the role.

I enjoyed this movie immensely. Everything about this movie
was done to perfection, characters, plot, imagrey and
everything else that goes with a great film. I would go as
far to say that this is the best thing that I have ever
seen??? As I do spend a lot of time at the movies and in
front of the T.V(it goes without saying I'm a student).

Pure Magic...what island was it filmed on

Lindsay | 8:37 p.m. Aug. 10, 2000

Very possibly one of the best movies I've ever seen. But
maybe that's just because I'm an Ireland fanatic. The
islands, the characters, the seals...it's all so
facinating. "'Twas like a dream, that [film]" and that's
the pure truth of it.

Masaru Kobayashi | 5:24 p.m. Oct. 6, 2000

I wish to enjoy this movie again.
How to get the Video or Laser Disc?
Any suggestion?
