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.

Beuh, lots of cigarettes. The film is slow going. We are left to think what makes these two in such bad mood. I was thinking they killed a kid but it was sort of the contrary. The woman, not too bright, follows her dark path for a solution. Lucky the man stopped her. This film seemed familiar to me, like a remake. I recall a woman getting a married guy easily. Not sure it flies in real life, unless they are psychopaths of course. People were that crazy in the 70s.

I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. I must admit, I had my doubts, being directed by Angelina Jolie and the romantic aspect. But I was very moved by this picture.It was a sweet, small little film that does wonders. It's romance, drama, and just a general good time.7 Stars, though it deserves one more
