The actors are excellent (especially Alicia Vikander), the scenery gorgeous, the story - moving, reconstructing the reality very well and real. It wasn't so clear what happened in 15 years jump to 1950. It shows values that we forgot in our time. I wish there would be more films like this one. It is a pleasure watching it. I loved it.

These two character were insane. I just cannot figure out who was more insane the woman who wanted to keep another woman's baby or the husband that enabled her to do so. You find a baby in a dingy with a dead man but never think of all the possibilities of why they were there. Maybe the dead man was a kidnapper and the real mother was going nuts looking for her baby or the actual story... a man who dies while in the dingy, for whatever reason, with his baby. There could have been a thousand explanations but these idiots decide to keep their dirty little secret. Who would do that? How come they never heard of this dead man until that day in the church cemetery? Wouldn't a tragedy like that have been front page news on the mainland especially being that the mother of the baby was from a wealthy notable family? And didn't these two on the island come in contact with folks form the mainland periodically? Whew!I found the story annoying and I wanted to smack the female character who stole another woman's baby for completely selfish reasons.

While I'm a fan of Michael Fassbender, I was too caught up in the fact the two leads were dating and now married, so I couldn't get emotional, even though the story was pretty sad. I understand he loved her so much to take the fall after they were found out, but after reading the girl from her arms, it just made it worse for her, AND being without her husband. The movie was beautifully shot, I love the sights and sounds of the ocean's crashing waves. It would've made more sense if the Rachel Weisz character knew that Isabel miscarried twice, although she was very sympathetic to not sending them both to jail for a long time.
