Additional InformationAdapted from the award winning novel by David Almond, SKELLIG tells the story of young Michael (Bill Milner) and his friendship with a peculiar, perhaps supernatural creature. Everything begins when MichaelÆs family moves into a new house. His mother (Kelly MacDonald) spends her time at the local hospital, looking after her new born baby girl, who is being kept in an incubator, while his father is working on the neglected garage. One day Michael, who has been prohibited from entering the precarious structure, accidentally discovers, hidden in the garage, a mysterious feathered being. The kid and the creature, whose name is Skellig (Tim Roth), become friends and Michael starts taking care of him, keeping his existence a secret. Only after their bond has become stronger, does Michael decide to introduce Skellig to his new neighbour Mina (Skye Bennett), a home-schooled girl with a penchant for visionary poet William Blake. Mina and Michael find out that Skellig has some strange wing-like bulges on his back. What is Skellig exactly? A man-bird? Or something elseà something divine?

  • Never judge a book by its cover.

    A really enjoyable family film. Showing that help can come from the most unlikeliest of places and kindness is a two way street.

  • Exceeded expectations

    Watched this film after our daughter read the book at school. Covers some very emotional topics but well described and handled sensitively. The characters suit the story although the film could have been compressed a bit. Does contain some mild swearing to express heartfelt emotions so may put some families off.
