The Light Between Oceans ⋆ Life With Heidi

The Light Between Oceans

*I received a Blu-Ray copy of the movie The Light Between Oceans in order to facilitate this review, however as always opinions are 100% my own. ‘

There is nothing better than a chick flick that you can sit down and watch cuddled up with your favorite blanket. Love stories are always a hit for me, but Brady just rolls his eyes and agrees to watch them with me. 9 times out of 10 he spends the time on his phone, but that is okay, you can’t win them all. The movie The Light Between Oceans was a must see for me because of the preview, it looked enchanting yet heartbreaking at the same time. So I knew when I had the chance to watch it, I knew I would love it. But I wasn’t ready for the emotional rollercoaster ride I went on because I felt like I was in the movie the right along with them.

Watch a story that is a timeless tale of love, relationships, and impossible choices. The sweeping romantic film, Disney/Dreamworks Pictures’ The Light Between Oceans, arrives on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and On-Demand on Jan. 24th. This beautiful romance stars two-time Academy Award® nominee Michael Fassbender (Best Actor, Steve Jobs), Oscar® winner Alicia Vikander (Best Supporting Actress, The Danish Girl), and Oscar and Golden Globe® winner Rachel Weisz (Best Supporting Actress, The Constant Gardener).

This release includes never-before-seen bonus features, including a documentary which reveals director Derek Cianfrance’s unique approach that allowed the all-star cast to embody their characters and examine the power of love; a historical look at New Zealand’s Cape Campbell Lighthouse that serves as Janus Rock, a key element in Stedman’s novel; and insightful and in-depth audio commentary led by Cianfrance.

In a moment of loss came a miracle of life… I will have to admit though that the preview had me in tears of sadness and joy! Grab the box of tissues and check out this preview now! I’m strongly considering purchasing the book, just so I know what happens.
