Audience Reviews for The Shell Seekers

May 22, 2011

Not as affecting as the book, but what film ever is? Superbly acted, even by Alastair Mckenzie (Archie from Monarch of the Glen), this is a heartbreaking story of first love, seen from several generations. Warning, you will cry, even with joy at the stunning final scenes. Still, most of the film falls flat, but it is worth it for the moments of brilliance.
