Review A Baby in a Boat Changes Everything in The Light Between OceansThe Light Between Oceans begins to lose its majesty when a dinghy appears on the shore. It contains a baby girl and the dead body of a man who is apparently her father. Tom insists they report the child to the authorities, while Isabel, still grieving, begs him to remain silent, allowing them to keep the baby and raise her as their own. At this point in The Light Between Oceans, the pounding surf turns into soapsuds and the brine into tears. Several years later, on a trip to Isabels hometown, they meet Hannah Rachel Weisz, a mournful woman who lost her husband and their baby girl at sea around the time the dinghy washed ashore. Realizing that the lost child is the baby they rescued, Tom, feeling guilty, furtively breaches his vow of secrecy with Isabel and drops enough hints to spur an investigation and a bitter struggle between Isabel and Hannah for possession of the child.

Davi RussoDream. Works, via Walt Disney Studios The Light Between Oceans begins to suggest an overly plotted, high end Nicholas Sparks film awash in tears, pleas and threats, and acts of treachery and nobility. Where Mr. Fassbenders sorrowful gravity anchored the movies first half, Ms. Vikanders volatility sparks the second half with Ms. Weiszs aggrieved, conflicted Hannah providing a moral fulcrum. Remaining true to the novel, The Light Between Oceans steadily becomes a strained fable about forgiveness and revenge that sabotages its best intentions by taking one too many plot turns. But unlike a movie spun off from a novel by Mr. Sparks, the story still remains weightier than mechanical literary claptrap. It eventually dribbles away in a final, perfunctory flash forward that feels hastily tacked on, even though its in the novel. 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. The Light Between Oceans is rated PG 1.
