From Blue Valentine to Place Beyond the Pines, director Derek Cianfrance has managed to effectively capture the deeply upsetting and difficult to overcome moments in relationships. Often skipping the trivial challenges, Cianfrance weaves together the rise and potential fall of connection in a beautifully depressing manner that keeps viewers watching even when they want to look away. And Cianfrance’s newest film doesn’t shy away from these gut-wrenching themes. Starring Alicia Vikander, Rachel Weisz, and Michael Fassbender, The Light Between Oceans is a story of marriage, children, and the overwhelming weight of a guilty conscience.
Based on the novel by M. L. Sedman, the film is situated on the coast of Western Australia where Tom, a shell-shocked veteran, seeks work on a remote island as a lighthouse keeper. But before his first few months of what he hopes will be solitude, Tom meets Isabel. As the two begin their fairytale romance with an exchange of letters and newlywed life in the middle of the ocean, they’re soon met with not one but two miscarriages. In the middle of Isabel’s grief, a small boat carrying a newborn baby washes ashore. After some convincing, the couple agrees to take the baby in and all goes well until Tom finds himself in front of Hannah, a widow who lost both her husband and baby in a small boat that drifted too far out into sea.
