Jest wysyp recenzji, które niestety nie są zbyt dobre dla filmu. Tzn. technicznie jest to dobry film

, ale brakuje w nim jakiejś głębi. Po prostu ładne obrazki, ładna muzyka (chwalą Desplata!), ale trochę pusto w środku.
Cue montage of sun-dappled embraces, wind-tousled hair and sweet nothings whispered, set to Alexandre Desplat's unremarkably lovely score. It's all enough to make Terrence Malick blush.

None of this is likely to matter to some viewers, who will find the trappings — gorgeous actors, breathtaking landscapes and heartstring-tickling music — enough to make them misty-eyed.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review ... ael-921836 As a Decemberists song, “The Light Between Oceans” could have been a masterpiece. As a middlebrow period melodrama in the vein of “The Painted Veil, “Lust, Caution,” and other swooning romances scored by the great Alexandre Desplat, the film — much like the twinkling musical tempest the French composer wrote for it — is lush and lacking in equal measure.
http://www.indiewire.com/2016/08/the-li ... 201721589/ Technically, the romantic drama is wholeheartedly intact. Composer Alexandre Desplat continues to deliver score after score, with strings and chords that tug at the heart. Desplat’s choice of swells and subtlety are quite remarkable. They are choices that can once again, land him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Score.
http://www.awardscircuit.com/2016/08/31 ... sage-love/ Alexandre Desplat’s score is as fittingly stirring as the emotions Cianfrance juggles onscreen, but perhaps the most effective use of music is one of the most heavenly pieces ever written: John Tavener‘s “Funeral Canticle,” used to great effect in Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life and utilized here in a key moment for Fassbender’s character.
https://thefilmstage.com/reviews/review ... en-oceans/ The film’s gentle, relentless air of potential heartache can be affecting, but much like Alexandre Desplat’s decorous score, the stately, reserved tone becomes monotonous, especially as the characters grow more rigid and one-note.

http://geektyrant.com/news/review-the-l ... asterpiece Even the great Alexandre Desplat’s always-wistful score doesn’t work; it simply suggest twinkling melancholy and tragedy too much and too often.
http://theplaylist.net/derek-cianfrance ... -20160830/ Secondary to the actors, the score by Alexandre Desplat is beautifully enchanting. The score adds even more of an emotional appeal to the film. Coupled with the majestic scenery of the island and ocean, the score makes the film even more stunning and artistic.
http://weliveentertainment.com/welivefi ... ama-drama/ The first act is a lovey-dovey affair as they quickly fall in love, with a lush coastal landscape as background made more wondrous by Alexandre Desplat’s majestic and stirring string and piano melodies.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movi ... /89595632/ The music by Alexander Desplat is stunning, perfectly matched by the sumptuous locations of Cape Campbell, a peninsula in New Zealand.
