After I read the novel, I hoped not be adaptated as film. For its touching beauty , on screed becoming only chain of impressive images but without reflect, in fair way, the emotions, powerful ones , proposed by book.
Ironically, exactly this adaptation was the kick to read The Light Between Oceans. Its virtues - off course, the images. But , maybe, more important , admirable performance of Rachel Weisz.
It is fair to write about this film the perfect adaptation , because not easy to imagine more. The work of. M. L. Stedman has the gift a dialogue, a very special one, with the viewer. The film can only offers the skin of this conversation. Beautiful locations, admirable acting, resurrected emotions, correct crafted episodes , the end. A sort of remind or hommage. So, with a strange word, the happy version of a profound impressive novel. The gratitude to director and actors as first duty.
