Apie šį filmą

"It is summer 1962, and England is still a year away from huge social changes: Beatlemania, the sexual revolution and the Swinging Sixties. We first encounter Florence and Edward, a young couple in their early twenties, on their wedding day. Now on their honeymoon, they are dining in their room at a stuffy, sedate hotel near Chesil Beach in Dorset. Their conversation becomes more tense and awkward, as the prospect of consummating their marriage approaches. Finally, an argument breaks out between them. Florence storms from the room and out of the hotel, Edward pursues her, and their row continues on Chesil Beach. From a series of flashbacks, we learn about the differences between them – their attitudes, temperaments and their drastically different backgrounds. Out on the beach on their fateful wedding day, one of them makes a major decision that will utterly change both of their lives forever. ON CHESIL BEACH is a powerful, insightful drama about two people, both defined by their upbringing, bound by the social mores of another era.

It's something new for the modern age. It's something fresh; not old and squeezed for every last drop of juice. It sounds like a good watch.

"Lets just say Saoirse, luckily for Hollywood was discovered as a child actor, "yes" I'm being a little bias, she brilliantly carried off her character, along with her talented Co-star. All I know is. It was a theme on coming of age. 5 stars from me.

Beautiful soft story with a sad ending. Fresh and genuinely moving.
