Song of the Sea (2014)
Movie
Released
Two siblings' journey through Irish folklore makes family grief part of a story about allowing feeling to move again. Adults can enjoy the patterned landscapes and the way emotional withdrawal becomes a fantastic world. The beauty is not a guarantee of gentleness: a missing mother, frightening creatures and danger to children require some readiness for sadness.
