Song of the Sea

Song of the Sea

Animation, Family, Fantasy

Saoirse, a little girl who can turn into a seal, goes on an adventure with her brother to save the spirit world and other magical beings like her.


The critical consensus

Artistically, too, classical Irish design motifs, the obvious influence of Studio Ghibli, and the contributions of artists from several co-producing European countries make for a beguiling blend of the unfamiliar and culturally specific with the universally appealing.

****(*)Angie Errigo, The List, 06/07/2015

Visually, this is an exquisitely composed film, and it teems with curiosities and compassion. If on occasion the story seems to wander, it arrives at an enchanting destination.

*****Will Lawrence, Empire Online, 06/07/2015

This magical, exquisite feature about a boy living on a remote Irish island uses bravura design and storytelling to convey a subtle and meaningful story.

****(*)Leslie Felperin, The Guardian, 09/07/2015

Moore is dealing with dark subject matter in playful and, at times, quite magical way.

Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 09/07/2015

A gorgeous, almost painterly tale of two siblings trying to reach home, but waylaid by witches, owls and faeries.

*****Mark Kermode, The Observer, 12/07/2015
