Yes, The Light Between Oceans is about love, fate and moral dilemmas when it comes to people’s relationships, understanding and trust.

You will once again celebrate a brilliant play by Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Rachel Weisz, Bryan Brown and Jack Thompson. Be ready to shed a tear, to laugh and celebrate life’s small moments that reflect on your own life.

The movie is about a great love between two people who are put through personal life’s tribulations while living on a remote island in Australia. A great relationship is being tested in many ways. Not being able to bear children is one of them. Yet when life presents this young couple with an opportunity to have “nobody’s” baby, that’s when the most difficult choices are being made. Watch this movie to walk in the shoes of these people and ask yourself a question, “What Would I Do In Their Place?”

“One of the best films of the year.” – Rex Reed, The Observer

“In any adaptation, the greatest challenge is that of subtraction, what you must leave out,” Derek Cianfrance [director] says. “It’s like sculpture; once you embrace that, it can be the wind beneath your wings. Eventually you can expand the moments and themes that you love and push the boundaries to find even more truthfulness.

This is when it really starts to become alive. There are of course key differences between cinema and literature and one of those is the way time plays out. There has to be a different way of handling pace and also of handling secrets and revelations.”

Michael Fassbender stars as Tom Sherbourne and Alicia Vikander as his wife Isabel in DreamWorks Pictures poignant drama THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS, written and directed by Derek Cianfrance based on the acclaimed novel by M.L. Stedman.

The love story that takes us on a journey of what is right and wrong from the perspective of different players. Great movie to watch and feel the emotion that is raw and genuine.
