    10 years ago, the last Touchstone film, the DreamWorks production “The Light Between Oceans”, was released. Touchstone went dormant once it released. It’s a shame Disney abandoned Touchstone. It can be argued that without it, Disney wouldn’t be the movie studio beast it became in the 2010s.

    Also, damn, nine years since his last movie. I’ve no strong feelings on The Light Between Oceans, but definitely not a movie to be in director jail for a decade over.

    Last night, I watched The Light Between Oceans, 2016. I found it both a beautiful and depressing film. The lighthouse is beautiful. Big time Content Warning for pregnancy loss. The lighthouse in the film is Cape Campbell in NZ. #filmsky #lighthousemovies #screenshot

    I don't think they ever do, whether it's THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS or A MINECRAFT MOVIE, either in the US or NZ (although it's generally milked in the press in the latter case), which made this surprising.

    Ha that’s funny cause I’m totally the same way. Ever now and then I like to ready cheesy romance novels. The last I read was The Light Between Oceans (which was also made into a movie with Vikander and Fassbender). If you need fantasy or horror recommendations let me know!

    There's a widespread impression that Alicia and Michael first met on a dance floor many months before filming 'The Light Between Oceans' the couple's only other film completed together.

  • Reno @RanganTMDB reviews · Mar 26, 2017

    A tale of imbalance between love and grief. The film was based on the Australian novel of the same name. It was a recent book, but a period drama about a World War I veteran who just returned home. So I feel this film was made too soon. Because it seems so classic, only if we had given some time to pick up its popularity. I mean the literature version which at least needed a decade of freedom before heading to the big screen. You know, this same kind of tales from the past is what now we…
