What the critics say
Based on 21 reviews, The Light Between Oceans gets an average review score of 64
Though it’s set almost a century ago, The Light Between Oceans feels like a refugee from a more recent past—the misty, Miramax-y ’90s.
3127d ago
As a drama about adult responsibility, selfishness and moral obligations, however, it never wavers in its commitment to examine what it means to raise a child.
3127d ago
The Light Between Oceans seems almost single-minded in its pursuit of theme; by the time the nationality of the dead man in the boat is revealed.
3127d ago
The Light Between Oceans: Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander show breath-catching depth.
3127d ago
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander give heartfelt performances in a tale of love and sacrifice that isn’t afraid to hit cymbal-crashing levels of sentimentality.
3127d ago
Everything in The Light Between Oceans is deeply felt and dramatically precise, in a way that seems destined to become profoundly personal for each and every viewer.
3127d ago
The Light Between Oceans at its best has everything to do with the acting — and if all Cianfrance ever gives us is that, it's worth the price of his lagging third act.

Derek Cianfrance’s ‘The Light Between Oceans’ Is Beautiful, But Can’t Sustain Its Melodramatic Grace Notes
3127d ago
Cianfrance, who also helmed the powerful Blue Valentine, does show an innate knack for telling a gripping story that doesn’t let any of its characters off easy.
3127d ago
This is a film that I kept wanting to emotionally connect with and give myself over to the human power of its tragedy, but it kept pushing me away.
3127d ago
"The Light Between Oceans" remains compelling throughout its two-hour-plus run time, but for a melodrama that walks and talks like a weepy, it has a strangely unemotional reservedness.
3127d ago
Previously Cianfrance never strayed to the wrong side of the line between soulful and soapy. In this film he sometimes does.
3127d ago
And, let’s face it, there’s very little not to recommend staring at Fassbender’s limpid blue eyes and square jaw for a couple of hours during the dog days of summer.
3127d ago
“The Light Between Oceans” is an oddly old-fashioned enterprise, wedded to the principle that love conquers all.
3127d ago
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander star in a somber period romantic weeper that's daring enough to go to dark places.
3127d ago
Emotionally speaking, this film lays the foundation for a mansion, and then decides at the last minute to construct a gazebo instead.
3127d ago
When I found myself rooting for the reappearance of a particular coat (on Isabel; fitted, peplum’d, quite smart), rather than the characters, I knew the movie was lost at sea.
3127d ago
Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender are the finely chiseled, perfectly lighted husband and wife with a secret in "The Light Between Oceans."
3127d ago
Pretty but lifeless.
3127d ago
Not even two of Hollywood's brightest stars can save this water-logged melodrama about a lighthouse keeper and his wife.
3127d ago
The latest from Derek Cianfrance is 132 minutes of slow-motion relationship crash-and-burn.
