Just Off The Coast (1992) Reviews

Fed up with his social-climbing wife's ambitious ways, Daniel, a painter, has left her and has taken rooms in a New England island inn during the off season. There, amid the bleak dunes and vast sky, he attempts to come to grips with himself. The inn's owner is an old fellow whose constant companion is his independent-minded granddaughter, who occasionally reads to him from a book of old fables. At the time of the movie, the story she's reading concerns a mermaid. When the granddaughter isn't careening around in her plain-spoken, almost boyish way, she's busy sizing up this new man on the scene as a possible conquest. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
