Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt are in another movie together. The film is written/directed by Jolie Pitt and they’re playing a couple in crisis.

Teaser trailer

Trailer 1

I’m a tad late in writing about this movie. Reason being, I was disappointed that the trailer didn’t have me more excited. Upon reflection though, I think my lack of excitement may have been because I’ve seen some exceptionally thrilling trailers this summer, and By The Sea is a complete change of pace.

It could also be the case that the trailer simply doesn’t excite me. Further still,I may also be afraid I won’t enjoy watching a real life couple (that I admire) playing a couple who are clearly in trouble. It’s just too close to a worst case scenario that I don’t really want to contemplate.

I write all that to say that had the same trailer been released, but with Angelina and a different actor or Brad and a different actress, would I have the same reservations? Perhaps not.

I’ll still watch, of course.

By the Sea Release Dates: November 13th 2015 (U.S.), December 11th 2015 (U.K.)

Happy Film Loving,
