By The Sea


By the Sea follows an American writer named Roland (Pitt) and his wife, Vanessa (Jolie Pitt), who arrive in a tranquil and picturesque seaside resort in 1970s France, their marriage in apparent crisis. As they spend time with fellow travelers, including young newlyweds Lea (Laurent) and François (Poupaud), and village locals Michel (Arestrup) and Patrice (Bohringer), the couple begins to come to terms with unresolved issues in their own lives. 

This movie was snoozefest city.  I kept watching thinking that it would get better because of Jolie & Pitt but it did not.  It was basically the same conversations over and over again about their marriage on the fritz.  With no emotional hook, I couldn't have cared less about the characters or their marriage.

I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting time with this.  It's pretty much an extremely melodramatic waste of time.
