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.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Pitt invests the vague, cranky relationship with his usual intelligence and restraint, but the movie is destined to rank with such celebrity-couple fiascos as Gigli (2003) and Shanghai Surprise (1986).

rotten:
What are the artistic purposes for this tedious collection of frowning, drinking, bickering, peeping and smoking scenes? "By the Sea" is long on perverse images but short on ideas.

rotten:
The point to all this seems to be life is cruel and people are jerks, but sometimes very good-looking jerks. Deep.

rotten:
The actors aren't unhinged enough for the scathing conceit, and the script is more of a mechanism than a revelation.

It's a fascinating experiment, and proof that Jolie truly has directorial chops and an extraordinary eye for imagery.
