A non-consequential bore - By the Sea review by BE
A French art house movie it's not, although I suspect that was the intention. If you like watching paint dry and mainly wooden doll acting from Angelina Jolie Pitt, watch this.

Surprisingly enjoyable - By the Sea review by CP Customer
I've heard nothing good about this film, but I actually really enjoyed it. I suspect many of the people criticising it were expecting the usual formulaic Hollywood fare that both actors do so well, but it aims much more at the French arthouse genre. It doesn't succeed, but is still a good film. Some lovely cinematography and a plot that draws you in. Surprisingly well worth watching
