From acclaimed director Derek Cianfrance (The Place Beyond the Pines, Blue Valentine), The Light Between Oceans is a beautiful, heartrending romance based on the bestselling Australian novel by M.L. Stedman. Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander star as Tom and Isabel, a couple who fall in love in the years following WWI and begin their life together on a remote island off the coast of Western Australia. One day, a mysterious rowboat washes ashore carrying a crying baby girl. Tom and Isabel decide to raise her as their own, unaware of the devastating consequences of their decision until years later, when the baby’s real story unfolds.
Moving, poignant gorgeous cinematography. A film that grows in you as each scene unfolds. One of the best of the last 12 months.
