Leave your thoughts about By the Sea.
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonNothing ever truly sizzles. The result is a film that is very flat, and easily forgettable. |
| The Film StageForrest CardamenisThe conclusions Jolie reaches are admirable, though her roadmap is sometimes muddled. |
| Las Vegas InformerVictoria AlexanderA mature, self-assured look at a marriage. Jolie-Pitt's skill at directing continues and BY THE SEA should not be dismissed as a "favor" movie. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesPitt 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). |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderDo not be misled into thinking that there will be intrigue or mystery. It's not that kind of movie. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereAn intriguing and picturesque evocation of the Euro art films of the 1960s and '70s about a married couple wrestling with their demons. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeJolie and Pitt are both, without a doubt, very good actors, and in the film’s rare moments of vulnerability, their fights and reconciliations contain a seed of devastating emotional truth that speaks to the pair’s talent and real-life bond. But those moments are suffocated under long, dreadfully dull sequences where everyone poses artfully and says very little. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttWhat explains this self-indulgent, meaningless, crashing bore of a movie? |
| HaaretzUri KleinIt's touching, but it doesn't save the result from becoming anembarrassment. |
| HeraldNet (Everett, WA)Robert HortonFailed effort though it may be, I liked watching this film. The thing is easy on the eyes, for starters, but I also admire the go-for-it level of foolish ambition here. Say what you will about Angelina Jolie, but she's not playing it safe. |
