Synopsis

In July 1962, Edward Mayhew (Billy Howle), a graduate student of history, and Florence Ponting (Saoirse Ronan), a violinist of a string quartet, have just been married and are spending their honeymoon in a small hotel on the Dorset seashore, at Chesil Beach.

The two are very much in love despite being from drastically different backgrounds. During the course of an evening, both reflect upon their upbringing and the prospect of their futures. Edward is sexually motivated and, though intelligent, has a taste for rash behavior. Florence is bound by the social code of another era and, perhaps having been sexually abused by her father, is terrified of sexual intimacy.

Florence tries to mentally prepare herself for the inevitable consummation, but the thought of it continues to repulse her.

2/10

The choice of instruments and melodies in the soundtrack often felt mismatched with the tone and mood of the scenes, resulting in a jarring and disjointed listening experience. Instead of enhancing the narrative, the music frequently detracted from the on-screen performances, failing to create a cohesive and immersive atmosphere.

Stephanie Evans

The overall composition and arrangement of the soundtrack for On Chesil Beach felt repetitive and monotonous, with little variation in themes or motifs. This lack of musical diversity made it challenging to stay engaged with the film, as the music failed to evolve alongside the characters' emotional journeys, ultimately leaving a forgettable and underwhelming impression.
