Good, but slow

Using the new searching algorithms on Zeitgeist, I tried looking for a 90's film with the highest amount of White people in the cast and in the production, then I selected for highest rating and found this film. This Irish film is for all intents and purposes, lovely, slightly melancholic and gloomy, wonderfully authentic, innocent and full of fairy lore, quaint customs and sad Irish folk tunes. But as a downside, the film is very slow, very downplayed and has very little plot to it. It tells the story of Fiona an young Irish girl who goes and lives with her grandparents and older brother, fishermen by trade, she slowly meets the natives and learns the ways of her community, all the while accompanied by delightful folk music, slowly the film introduces more fairy elements, but these stay in the background. Unlike a lot of films of this type, this is neither a light comedy, nor is it particularly dark or dramatic, there is a certain gloominess about the film, but never does it take a dark turn, perhaps this would have made the film better, as I see it, this film has lots of soul, but very little spirit.
