After making their red carpet debut as a couple at the Venice Film Festival last month, Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander continued their press tour for The Light Between Oceans at the film's UK premiere on Wednesday. While the couple showed slight (but sweet) displays of affection, it was ultimately their onscreen daughter Florence Clery who ended up stealing the show with her cute antics. In addition to making her red carpet debut, the pint-size actress - who was joined by her parents Ed and Kate Clery - melted hearts as she showed Michael her missing tooth and posed with director Derek Cianfrance and producer David Heyman. In the movie, Alicia and Michael play a couple whose life gets turned upside down after they meet the mother of the baby they raised and cared for as their own. Have you seen the movie yet?

When I first saw Blue Valentine, I was absolutely bowled over by the talent of Derek Cianfrance. My favorite film of that year, I still consider it a masterpiece. Since then, he has challenged himself with ambitious fare like The Place Beyond the Pines, though this week he has something completely new to share in The Light Between Oceans. A period piece and melodrama, it’s Cianfrance working in a slightly less grounded in gritty reality way, to solid effect. The themes he’s always explored are still there, just packaged in a different way. Some of the people who have loved his prior works might find this a step down, but it’s still very much a worthwhile movie. The film is an adaptation of M.L. Stedman’s novel of the same name. It follows Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) as he returns to Australia after the war in search of some solitude.

Several miles off the coast of Tasmania, across a stretch of water so cold and jagged that it makes the river Styx seem like a kiddie pool, a tight-lipped World War I vet lives on a tiny island by his lonesome. Unlike most of the lighthouse keepers who come to the impossibly remote shores of Janus Rock, Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) shows up solo — all the better for someone who wants to “Get away from things for a while.” Eventually, Tom is joined by Isabel (Alicia Vikander), the bright-eyed local beauty who agrees to be his wife. The idyllic solitude they share together might last forever if not for the series of devastating miscarriages that sink them like a squall, but the sea is full of hope for those who keep a desperate eye on the shore.
