The Light Between Oceans is based off of the novel and stars Michael Fassbender as Tom a light house keeper who falls in love with Isabel (Alicia Vikander) but the two have trouble conceiving a child but one day they see a baby on a boat come to their Lighthouse Island so they decide to keep it but that decision could well come back to haunt them.
This movie was simply awful to sit through so much so that it will probably be on my overall least favourites of the year list because it just became so damned tedious and laborious to sit through as the film went on now granted there are some terrific performances here as you would expect from director Derek Cianfrance, Fassbender is his normal reliable solid self, Vikander has a very welcome return to form after her disappointing work in Jason Bourne and the two of them have very believable acting chemistry and I also enjoyed seeing Norman Gunston, Bryan Brown and Jack Thompson in small roles.
But the longer this movie went on the more it became tedious and lumbering as scene after scene after scene just became nothing more than world class acting talent sitting in rooms weeping over letters and after a while this REALLY got on my nerves and I just kept sitting in my seat waiting for the damned film to end and boy was I happy when it ended.
And so that was the Light Between Oceans one of my least fav films of the year, 1 out of 5.
