"I can always love you, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, I will understand." (Florence lays it on the line to Edward on Chesil Beach).

Ian McEwan takes screenplay control of his own novel in a beautifully crafted love story. Florence (Saoirse Ronan) and Edward (Billy Howle) are newly married and hours into their honeymoon set in the traditional suite of a beachside hotel. Their love for one another is obvious. As the camera moves in to capture each reflective thought, we cut to a flashback which slowly unveils the reason for their devotion to one another. Then there is a moment when their lives take a significant shift, yet the moment, on the surface, seems insignificant. It's likely rivers run deep as we reflect on Florence's past and ultimately there's an unfortunate price to pay. It could be said, they don't make old fashioned love stories like On Chesil Beach anymore! 10GUMS.
