By the Sea (2015)
Set in France during the mid-1970s, Vanessa, a former dancer, and her husband Roland, an American writer, travel the country together. They seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/café-keeper and a hotel owner.

Beautiful scenary and setting. Although nothing really stands out except for the beautiful location. French people in general are not really that friendly so I don't really buy that quick connection with the couple in the next room. In fact speaking of that couple, they were ordinary, irritating French guy thinking only of sex and the flat chested younger French lady who acted like a child in many respects.. Anyway who would want to get to know Angelina and Brad characters in this movie. Both were unlikeable, in particular Angelina. Skeletal Angelina! Also that peephole how the hell did the French couple next door not notice that? Why would you go on holiday to play cards with the foreigners next room? Why did they seem to spend the entire vacation on the balcony or in the room? Why did Angelina want to show off her redesigned boobs so much? What was the point of it all. Who cares. Never want to watch again.
This movie is boring and very slow paced, maybe too long for the theme. Jolie's character is extremely annoying and depressive. Nothing emotional, just a couple trying to save the marriage as they go through the mid-life crisis and each of them share a bizarre passion for spying the younger neighbors. Awkward. The setting is beautiful though, southern France is fascinating, for sure. Melanie Laurent does a nice supporting role and the atmosphere is dark and melancholic.
Such a well done movie, great acting , direction, beautiful pictures and scenes
Had to watch this to see how the Brangelina miracle ended. Not well, had its moments but in the end fleeting.They both had clichéd problems and its like, if you're going to be all beautiful doing beautiful things in beautiful places next door to other beautiful people, then at least be somewhat self-aware. Like watch a movie, read some literature, develop some empathy, do something other than whine about your problems like no one else has ever had them before.These vanity projects never really work out. They generate good press and all but was there every any true love involved? I'm just saying, we could have avoided all this if everyone involved would have seen this coming like the rest of us did. Things that are too good to be true, are, you know, exactly that. We watch movies, that's how we know.
