Saw this completely by accident on amazon prime and I must say that it is very endearing, part social drama part fantasy watching the Bullied at school Arthur is a hard watch especially when after school he must look after his alcoholic father played by the wonderful Johnny Vegas, Arthur is called to a old run down swimming pool due for demolition and meets the fantastic water nymp delphina.
Their love affair is very engaging, but there is also a dark tone here with the lurking in the shadows 'Mr silver' who sacrifices children to the water gods in return for his lost daughter.
It all pulls together nicely in the end but hoping for a sequel would be foolish, this is a standalone movie in its own right with excellent acting by all concerned especially the Bullied Arthur and rather charming water nymph delphina, all in all a rather lovely movie well worth a look!!
