The film is slow-moving, even occasionally impressive. The dolphin scenes are wonderful, with beautiful graceful scenes of them frolicking, swimming with humans and some quite amazing footage of a dolphin giving birth. But basically what the film hinges on is whether or not one is prepared to sufficiently suspend disbelief to accept that a dolphin can talk, squawking as they do like inarticulate Smurfs. This reviewer couldn’t. There is one scene with Fa racing around the pool, battering against the dividing plate, finally saying “Fa want Bee now,” which has an eventually triumphant power in a slow, almost-Kubrickian way. But such evocations of the dolphin’s intelligence are few. It is a problem not exactly helped by the story’s hurried tossing away of developing the dolphin’s intelligence for a suspense plot, leaving the film as little more than Flipper with raised consciousness.
