The story is set in the Emerald Isle (famous for its stories about fairies and Celtic creatures), during the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Ben is a ten year old who lives with his little sister Saoirse and father Conor in a lighthouse, on an island off the Irish coast. Bronach, their selkie mother, returned to the sea six years previously, leaving Ben devastated and his father unable to cope. Troubled Ben grows increasingly resentful of mute Saoirse, who appears to embody the selkie tales told to him by his mother and whom he blames for her abrupt departure. When Saoirse discovers a white sealskin coat she is called to the sea and it is revealed that, she too, is a selkie and swims with the seals until she is washed up ashore, prompting Granny to take the children to the city for their own safety. Yearning to return home, they run away and in their adventurous quest, they encounter a host of mythical characters inhabiting a lost and forgotten world. These creatures will either help or hinder their challenging venture, to see them safely back to the island, and free the faerie folk from the curse made by Celtic Goddess Macha.<\/p>\n<p>Voiced by an all-star Irish cast, including Brendan Gleeson, Fionnula Flanagan, Lisa Hannigan and Pat Shortt, \u2018Song Of The Sea\u2019 is a retrospective celebration to Irish culture and landscape, just as Tomm Moore\u2019s previous film \u2018The Secret of Kells\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Through his hand-drawn, water-coloured aesthetics we are brought back to what reminds us of the Aran Islands, drenched with the melancholic beauty. We are thusly presented with a panorama that Edmund Burke epitomised in the sublime power of nature.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative intrigue of the film and the poetic artistry of the animated drawings will evoke the inner child of each spectator, as the children face adversity to return home and save the day, with the enchanting Irish music to lead the way.<\/p>\n<p><b>Technical: B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Acting: B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Story: A<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Overall: B+<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Of-The-Sea-Movie-Review.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Of-The-Sea-Movie-Review.jpg\" alt=\"Song Of The Sea Movie Review\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-160503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Of-The-Sea-Movie-Review.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Of-The-Sea-Movie-Review-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Song-Of-The-Sea-Movie-Review-1024x553.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Song Of The Sea Director: Tomm Moore Genre: Animation Voices: Brendan Gleeson, Fionnula Flanagan, Lisa Hannigan, Pat Shortt.
