Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Let be frank and direct.. People out there will do everything to see one single minute of a celebrity's life.. any celebrity.. Then what if Angelina and Brad showcase a real life cast (despite the story), all of us wanted to see every minute of it.. every second of it.. 2 full minutes andasking for more.. because usually such dramatic moments of our life are veryyyyy slow.. passing very slow in our life.. and in this movie, this couple intended to make sure to feel every moment of it.. (and not by coincidence).. And for those who were disappointed to find no story..!! well I must tell them that a simple fight between a couple is enough to be a grand story..!! So this is a story in itself.. and being drama and sad made us feel how slow it is sad moments in our life.. It was so true feelings.. true feelings all over the movie.. that even whenever they're nude in some scenes, it reflected another meanings.. meanings of respect.. I feel honored that 2 powerfull persons have just shared with us precious moments that almost all of us have experienced .. and for those who didn't yet.. come again whenever u experience it in your life.. you will.. I am sure you will..!!! Cheers to Brad and Angelina..

Film Review: "By The Sea" (2015)Backed by Universal Pictures in order to distribute the artful film, acting couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also-originally-writing-as-directing the picture creates a simple story of a married relationship between man and woman in distress from obligations of the business-accelerated world, when they arrive in a small fisher village in Southern France to undertake the not-entirely-hopeless attempt to recover their marriage.Beautifully because authentical captured cinematography by Christian Berger, known for galvanizing as visually-enhancing original cinematic pieces by director Michael Haneke in 2000s as "Caché" plus the digitally-changed black-and-white film "The White Ribbon", gives director Angelina Jolie a canvas for beat-striking moments 115-Minute-Editorial by Martin Pensa and Particia Rommel, when Pitt & Jolie live a little with the camera running, fight more and then in the strongest parts individually struggle on-screen; Jolie gracefully smoking at shade-giving hotel room window, Pitt drinking in a nearby bar under observative eyes of superb supporting actor Niels Arestrup. The cleverly-written-in arriving younger couple in the hotel room next door, portrayed by Mélanie Laurent and Melvil Poupaud, build the center point of a disfunctioning - due to not enough sex - relationship of Pitt & Jolie's alteregos Roland & Venessa, so they discover in strongest moments of the film the microcosm environment in the summer sun of year 2014, where each one for themselves discover lost beats along the way before in-hotel-suite-confrontations between two major Hollywood-indulged film stars, who play their hearts out to a rounded-up conclusion, which only cinema is able to deliver.

In the 70's, writer Roland (Brad Pitt) and former dancer Vanessa (Angelina Jolie) are in a tired marriage. They hope to rekindle their relationship and his writing in a small seaside town in the south of France. She finds a peep hole and obsesses over their next door neighbor especially Léa (Mélanie Laurent).Angelina Jolie continues to try to be a real filmmaker. She seems competent as a director. I don't see any outstanding style but her work is functional. The acting is tired although that's their characters. Her depression needs to be over-dramatized. When depression is depressed, it's depressing to watch. That's mostly in the writing and I don't think Jolie is a good writer. She may have fair concepts but her dialogue does not sing. The flow is stuck in mud. The plot could have gone somewhere compelling. She needs to collaborate with a better writer who could help her work. This has potential but Jolie lacks the skills to exploit.

Angelina has once again failed in every way possible with this movie! Her editing was bad, her directing was horrible, and her acting was just horrendous. She has failed to put out a good movie in quite some time and By the Sea was not even close to a good movie. Even the script was just horrible. If you think that being a voyeur is going to save your marriage, Jolie will show you all the ways that it won't with this movie. Even Brad Pitt should be ashamed of himself for his role in this movie as his acting was just as bad as Angelina's. Based off their lack of chemistry in this movie, I can understand why this couple got divorced. The movie was so slow that there were times that the only thing that saved the movie was the beautiful background of Malta. And Brad Pitt's car was the star of this movie in my opinion!
