Aroview: A young girl is sent to live with her grandmother at a coastal town in Ireland, 1949, and makes an unexpected connection with its mystical history and landscape.

An exquisite elegy about the pursuit of ridiculous dreams, its naturalistic and sentiment-free take on the fantastic will inspire young and old alike.

5 stars (Exceptional) Staggeringly good! Literally an enchanting story. Wonderful acting by three of the main players, for whom this was their first movie. Enormous credit to Sayles. Scenery also lovely. Not enough stars! ~Anon
