How can a film be so simple, yet so movingly enjoyable ?

Please don't read this review if you don't want to know any small details from this film.

It is impossible not to be moved emotionally by this film, the acting is superb, and the little boys acting will wrench your heart out, particularly when the man in the film burns the dead woman's clothes.

I loved the Irish landscape, and the little cottage from where the story takes place.

And the ending where the man adopts the little boy and the little boy calls the man his dad, made me literally cry.

And watch out for the little seal, it's gorgeous, the seal is the little boys friend, almost human.

Watch this film with your family, and keep watching no matter how boring you feel it maybe, my bet is you will cry.

I wish they made more films like this, human, endearing, adult.
