Description

Lighthouse keeper Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) and radiant, spirited Isabel (Alicia Vikander) live together in married bliss on a remote, rugged island off the coast of Australia. But their windswept world is turned upside down when Isabel learns that she’s unable to bear a child. One day, a drifting lifeboat washes ashore with a crying baby in it. The dilemma the couple now face will echo far beyond the island, engulfing and irrevocably impacting their world – and that of a stranger (Rachel Weisz) – in a passionate story about love, hope, and a fateful choice.

    I absolutely adored this movie. It takes quite a bit to make me cry. I guard my gooey feelings like a soldier lately ... but oy did this movie have me crying like a baby.

    Allow your heart to be drawn to this tale of unconditional devotion and you will not be disappointed. Stellar work by all the actors and the storyline is rich with nuances of hope, loss, redemption and the deepest love.

    Don't listen to some of the critics- This movie made me cry as hard as I did when I first saw "Terms of Endearment", and my big tough but sensitive hubby shed a few genuine tears too. It's sweeping, genuine, romantic, heartbreaking, poignant and "understandable"... You really could feel for every character, and every wrenching decision they had to make. One of the best movies we've seen in years (we see many) ly loved it. 5 Stars, and 4 BIG Thumbs up
  • Instant Wet Eye Classic!!!

    This is a beautiful movie. It really came out of nowhere and stole my heart. Both a love story and a tragedy, it is part magic, part fairy-tale, and … WHERE IS THE OSCAR!!!
  • Absolutely Love it!

    When this says Rated PG-13, I found it to be rated R.......several sexual scenes that we had to fast forward through. Although I do know that by today's worldly standards, this type of content in PG-13 movies is exceptable. For my family, this was not a clean movie. We really don't want to see a man and woman having sex, or thier intimate moments in bed. I was very disappointed in this. Defintely not a family movie. It tells a story of selfishness, love for a spouse, unimaginable heartache, misguided loyalty and protection, mercy and forgiveness. The movie portrayed the concept that it is acceptable to be dishonest and deceitful when your love for a person, personal circumstances or situation outweighs doing the right moral thing and justifies your actions in your mind and heart. I found myself not liking the main couple. For us the movie was about stealing someone else's baby and making it about forgiveness. It was just ok. Definitely not great.

    This is such an emotional, heart-wrenching movie. The acting on behalf of Alicia Vikander is superb! She truly captures the emotions in the best way and deserves an award for it. Definitely recommend!
