Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- There's a sprinkling of fairy dust simply in watching Farrell connect with this character....A film that's a pure delight...
Box Office
Rating: B+ --
Understated in its subversion of, and then canny adherence to, its chosen folklore

Lessons of Darkness
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Jordan starts to tell an intriguing tale about living with fantasy but falls back on plot turns cued to the flashing lights of cops and paramedics.

Chicago Sun-Times
The magic of ONDINE is all beneath the surface, a shimmery school of fish that you can never be fully sure you glimpsed, but whose existence you don't for an instant doubt. Maybe all you see is a silvery flash, but that's enough.
Movieline
3 stars out of 5 -- Jordan creates a haunting, lyrical mood....Farrell is touchingly vulnerable and 10-year-old newcomer Alison Barry steals her scenes...
Philip Kemp
Things start to go awry when we realize that the film's emotional sensitivity doesn't go much deeper than its moody surfaces.

Film Comment Magazine
Rating: 3/4 --
Ondine is dipped in whimsy and might have drifted out to sea, but it's bounded on four sides by love stories - between a father and a daughter, a man and a mermaid, an actor and his co-star, and a director and his country.

Product Description:
A man makes a startling discovery that may or may not be magical in this drama from writer and director Neil Jordan. Syracuse (Colin Farrell) is a fisherman who lives in a small town on the Southern coast of Ireland. Syracuse is an alcoholic, and though he's been sober for two years, most of his neighbors still remember him as a embarrassing drunk, while his ex-wife now lives with another man. Syracuse tries to scratch out a living from the ocean and help support his young daughter, Annie (Alison Barry), who suffers from a serious kidney ailment, but good luck is rarely with him until one day, when he pulls up his nets and finds what appears to be a woman caught in them. To Syracuse's surprise, the woman is alive, and he brings her to shore. The woman is a mysterious and secretive type who doesn't want to tell Syracuse anything about herself or be seen by anyone; Annie proposes that she's a selkie, a mythic creature of the sea that can take human form when it falls in love with the right person. Syracuse almost believes that Annie is right, especially after good luck and good fishing begins coming his way after discovering her, but unfortunately the woman Syracuse has named Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) has certain concerns more pressing than the good fortune of her benefactor. ONDINE was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.
