Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was filmed in Stanley, a quiet seaside town in north-west Tasmania. Local spokespersons hoped the film would enhance the amount of tourists in the area.
- GoofsA framed photograph of Frank and Grace is shown on a shelf at approximately 1:08 in the movie. It appears that Frank is holding the baby in his right arm. This is a reversed image as evidenced by the direction his vest is buttoned. The same framed photo is shown twice later in the movie: at 1:35 sitting on what looks to be the same shelf and again at 1:57 being held in Hannah's hands. These show the correct orientation of the image with the child being held in his left arm.
- Quotes
Frank Roennfeldt: You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day, all the time. You have to keep remembering the bad things. It's too much work.
- Alternate versionsIn Singapore, the film was edited in order to obtain a PG classification. The distributor removed an entire sex scene from the film (between Tom and Isabel, in which some sexual movements and brief breast nudity is shown). The film was later passed M18 uncut for it's video release.

Featured review
The Light Between Oceans starts Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Rachel Weisz. And its the story of a couple living in a lighthouse and in the ocean they find a baby. And that's all I am going to say since the trailer again ruined some important plot points of the film. This movie is very slow but is the kind of movie in which almost everything is on point and it never goes to a route in which derails the movie, I was pleasantly surprised! I loved this film! The cinematography is amazing with a lot of shots of the ocean and the wind, it was truly jaw-dropping. The acting was also great, Michael Fassbender as always gives a brilliant performance. But the actress who surprised me a lot is Alicia Vikander. She is fantastic as this lady who has lost a lot and has a lot of regret. She was truly Oscar-worthy. The story was great as it is not only about the relationship between Tom and Isabel, but it's also about guilt, sadness, loss, etc. The ending floured me, I absolutely loved it. The only issue I have is that Toms and Isabels relationship is a bit rushed and with no real sense of direction, and the beginning is kind-off slow but then it picks it right back up the next 5 minutes. I had a great time with this film and i would recommend it to everybody who wants to experience a heart-breaking story that is actually realistic and authentic.
