Het midden van de jaren zeventig. Een koppel, bestaande uit een voormalig danseres en een schrijver, besluit te gaan reizen door Frankrijk. Gedurende hun reis lijken ze steeds verder uit elkaar te groeien, totdat ze terecht komen bij een rustige badplaats. Daar blijven ze hangen en raken betrokken bij de lokale bevolking.

By the Sea became an artistic punctuation mark for the Pitt marriage, just as Eyes Wide Shut was for the Cruise marriage. Angelina found herself in the slow European films of the 70s and tried to make one of them. And that's it. The end.

Angelina Jolie made a film in which she could go to France with Brad, but on the other hand, nothing they probably wouldn't do normally. In addition, she added a dramatic story about how difficult it is to be a wealthy woman and showed that it is possible to overcome it when you meet good neighbors. Well, this definitely isn't the best movie of the year, or the life for the main two actors who don't disappoint in acting, but the film doesn't bring anything new.

I liked the summer seaside setting in which this story of a burned-out marriage took place, but somehow I can't think of any other positives to this movie. It might also be worth mentioning the pretty snappy background music. The theme was obviously meant to evoke emotions, but I was just getting more and more bored, just counting down the minutes until the torment would be over. Not to mention the fact that the sight of a fading and occasionally overacting Angelina Jolie was not exactly pleasant. And, let’s face it, Brad Pitt didn’t put on much of a show either. (40%)
