A nice uplifting story with decent acting for it's genre and budget. This is a nice take on the mermaid legend, not deep or ethereal like Roan Inish but not bad as a teen growth and self discovery story.
The pace is relaxed but not too slow, at least not most of the time The main 3 actors are great, especially Hume Cronyn of course. The supporting cast is ok if a little two dimensional. (The slightly snarky English teacher is a nice little sidebar though.)
The direction is a little sloppy at times and the editing is occasionally a little cringeworthy, but this is not unexpected in a made for TV movie.
Overall this is a nice quiet film.
