As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Blistering performances.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This was a truly good Lifetime movie. The cast was perfect and they had great chemistry in telling the story. However the story was left with too many questions and didn't answer the overall question or fill in the blanks and gaps. It was like false advertising. There is too much speculation for the viewer to fill in which makes me think either the book was written this way or the person who wrote the screenplay cut corners. When I looked at the synopsis of the book, it was her grandmother who passed away so I am wondering if her father actually died in the book as he did in the movie which indicated he was a seawalker which would make Maranda half seawalker. Unless the author writes another book to fill in the blanks and continue the story, I could see this as a short limited series on the CW or Freeform channel unless Lifetime decided to create another movie based off a new screenplay to explain and continue the story. Is Maranda half seawalker, did her g=father die because he was no longer swimming, why did her Mom try to kill her when she was an infant, how does the town explain the disappearance of several people, do they ever return, can Maranda be the key to save them and etc. Too many questions left to ponder...

I totally agree with everything that has been said. The ending of the movie totally confused me. It was her mother who saver her, right? Is she maybe half Selkie? The movie left me wanting. I just found out that this movie was made out of a book by Aimee Friedman - Sea Change. I have no idea if it might complete the story but I guess I have to get the book.

I really liked this movie up until the very end. Just as it was getting exciting, it just ended. I was waiting for something more after the commercial break, but unfortunately all there was after that were ending credits. Please tell me it's going to be a series. We need some kind of ending!! There are so many unanswered questions. I'm not going to spoil anything so I will stop here but seriously, please, it needs a part 2 at the very least.

The movie was amazing. The actors were perfect for the roles that they were selected for but the movie ended on a such an incomplete note. It left so many things unresolved. So many plot lines left in the wind that it completely ruined the movie for me. It would be nice for a follow up movie or even a series to be created. If not, this movie would be completely a waste of time to watch. Nothing is resolved throughout the movie.
