Review of The Seventh Stream

Scott Glen stars with a different character type in this mystic, romance drama set in Ireland. In a rather straightforward but touching story, this bittersweet drama lends itself to the mystery surrounding the discovery of a strange woman who has her own story to tell. The only real problem and its an important one is how the woman ends up in her own environment, it does not really track except for being a story device to make the movie more emotional compelling. Both quite satisfying in some ways and sad in other ways. This movie could have been a nine with a more perhaps conventional treatment though maybe ironically not as memorable. The grandest of all paradoxes.
