In the aftermath of World War I, former soldier Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) works as a lighthouse keeper, living alone on a small island.

On the mainland, he meets Isabel (Alicia Vikander), with whom he corresponds, and eventually marries. When a dinghy comes ashore containing a baby girl, Isabel persuades her husband to claim the child as their own.

A chance encounter leads Tom to the realisation that the child’s actual mother is a local woman (Rachel Weisz) still grieving for her loss, forcing him to choose between his family and what is right.

(Notes by Kevin Coyne.)

Prepare for a massive bull market in Kleenex shares. There are oceans of tears in this surging and swirling emotional melodrama from writer-director Derek Cianfrance, adapted from the 2012 bestseller by Australian author ML Stedman.
