DILUTED TO THE POINT OF BANALITY



When a drama tackles with such a important and difficult life subject as a somewhat forced adoption of a stranded baby, the development and outcome of the movie must be heartmoving and powerful. Everything else will be considered a failure, as is „The light between oceans”.

It is a complete failure of adapted screenwriting, not giving the convincing performances (Fassbender and especially Vikander) that will lead to a proper level of motivation, as well as the failure of elaborating the viable dilemmas that are inevitable after such a plot layout.

Overall tempo will also be pretty much tepid and almost no breathtaking turns will be presented in 140 minutes of the movie, while the very end will be just completely immersed in pathetic.

„The light between oceans” is just a poor movie based on a potentially great story.
