Enjoyed this movie immensely. I agree that some scenes were somewhat irrelevant. Pity there is not much bio on Emma on IMDb. Her last part about crediting Colm with finding the mattress is a beautiful act of kindness and clever psychology. I've been to Dublin twice, once in 1958 and again in 2006. The contrast and change between these two years in terms of scruffiness and graffiti is so disappointing. Nevertheless, there are many points in the city's favour and I would like to visit again. Like many Irish films, the dialogue (Irish accent) can be difficult to follow for our American cousins and those who do not have English mother tongue. Finally, I am curious as to what part of the movie was filmed in Sweden and why?

Mist: The Tale of a Sheepdog Puppy
(2006 TV Movie)
Unfair comment
24 December 2008
I am originally from Scotland and agree with Zebra there on his/her comments about this being an excellent movie. I disagree with FeiLongEx who is from the US and heavily criticizes the movie, especially the accents, which he/she does not understand. I have seen many movies, animated and otherwise, that my 6 year old granddaughter enjoys, and which sometimes have atrocious American accent voice-overs that do not fit. Also, a number of movies starring Americans, such as Robin Hood King of Thieves and played by Kevin Costner who makes no attempt to hide his American accent. Remember that Mist is a BBC TV production and is not only in the best possible taste as a family story, but the voice-overs are mainly done by famous British and Irish actors and actresses.
