David Harris Spectrum Culture Mermaid would float better if Shalaveva had stuck with odd and quirky instead of the weird and disagreeable- at least in terms of the main character. Oct 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member What a shame that this film has not yet been rated on Rotten Tomatoes, while the hype of the Avatar circus atracts 252 reviews! Mermaid was a truly excellent film: a charming story, visually beautiful, funny, sad, well cast (especially the brilliant Mariya Shalaeva), and with a superb soundtrack that purposefully complemented the story. It just felt good to watch this film! I think James Cameron could learn a lot about movie making from Anna Melikyan. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member i was not expecting this movie to come into my life ever. but seeing as i have found an addiction to the sundance movie channel, it was only a matter of time before i saw this film. it is all spoken in russian but i can still relate to the main character. she is a bit quirky and finds a power in herself to make "wishes" come true. when she moves to the city of moskow she finds an interesting man andinstantaniously falls in love. to bad she is only seen as a little girl, and the man has no interest in her beside her ability to clean exceptionally well. granted this movie is slow and takes a bit of time to hook you, and the way it was filmed is different, it is a good movie and i enjoyed it very much. i find these types of movies to be way more interesting than our over glamafied hollywood movies.
