Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I truly loved this movie. I disagree completely with the people that believe it was an awful movie. I especially liked the song rocketship by timeflies. I would totally recommend it to my friends.

This movie is not for your children! I have read many different versions of the old classic. Most people think the original telling was the rewrite by Hans Christian Andersen, where in the end she dies and becomes a "daughter of the air". However in his original telling was a much darker end than life after death, as she was denied an immortal soul and became seafoam after refusing to kill her prince when he chooses to marry another. He later rewrote the ending.Though this movie was far from the Disney classic, the plot had much more in common with the rewrite by Hans Christian Andersen himself than the cute Disney movie. Yes, it's modern, yes the witch caused her man to go blind-which never happened in the fairy tale...yet, it has happened in many other fairy tales, like Rapunzel. And though she was stripping, the mermaid actually did dance for the prince in the old story...despite every step feeling as though she was walking on broken glass.The ending is tragic and yet beautiful, as are traditional fairy tales, which were meant to teach life lessons to young children, rather than send children into a cruel world expecting "happily ever afters".It wasn't a horrible movie, but the ending had me bawling like a baby, as I had expected a happy ending rather than a traditional one. Any critics saying this movie was awful have probably grown up on Disney movies and never read a real fairy tale in their life.

After thinking for a minute here's what I came up with... Confusing, irritating, bland, shallow, trying-too-hard to modernize, uncaptivating. Seriously the list does not stop. One of the most confusing aspects was the beginning. Have no clue how that tied in at all. There was zero chemistry between anyone, and I normally like Indie films, but this was painful.

An amazing interpretation of Hans Christian Andersons classic. It's modern twist on the complexities of the human world really brought the story line up to date and created a whole new meaning to the film. The story line was simple but captivating with a love story where the emotions were so raw proving that a movie doesn't need to have a huge budget to be great. Music perfectly complemented the film too enabling there to be moments where no words were spoken but you understood the moment. Worth a watch! The cast & crew did good! There were a few slight wobbles to the camera filming & the scenes were a little sketchy the way they went from one scene to another at times. However, I think that actually complimented the film well as it brought vulnerability and rawness to it and allowed me as the viewer to be more emotionally involved in the film. I rated a 10/10 because I know I'll watch it more than once.
