I liked Aisling and her bellbottom legs. Also the way her face and hair become her whole body when she's climbing, like a white tadpole.
She simply doesn't look like the other characters, because she's not. She doesn't move through the world the same way.
Because she can't go into a church because she's a pre-Christian spirit or a pagan goddess or something else. An even slightly less skilled filmmaker would have stated that idea in so many words, but these folks didn't.
Yes. And it is never explained precisely what she is, which is also correct; and there is not even a hint of romance, which I can guarantee a lesser or more conventional film would have gone for. There is no more resolution with the adult Brendan than you would expect from an immortal creature that helped you once when you were a child and she liked you.
Even the art style suited them--through Aidan's eyes, these are the demons to whom nothing is sacred, and so they look like big ugly scrawls instead of Kells-people.
Understood. We can still agree on Peter Cushing and Flanders and Swann.
