Jolie is possibly trying to evoke the French arthouse cinema of the 1970's, and on that level she almost succeeds. The trouble with the film is this - it's painfully dull. Watching these two beautiful actors mope around the screen for two hours is agonising - for them and the viewer. [spoiler] By the time the locals wave them goodbye towards the end of the film, I could almost hear them thinking 'thank goodness they've gone.' [/spoiler]

Angelina & Brad are natural in their roles, fine slow paced marriage drama with a little humor and exquisite artsy shots

It spent far too much time setting up the premise and not enough time feeling the emotion or lack of or whatever. It ended up just being a movie about how thoughtless and cruel people are too each other when they think they have an excuse.

I wish the waves will take me away and maybe I might find the meaning to the movie.

Through out my years reviewing movies on this site, I always avoid using words like "pretentious" or "too arty", as I normally don't think that. To me, if a film what's to tell it's sto More

**A vacation, an inspiration for the writing and a complete makeover.**

The fourth directional venture for Angelina Jolie, she also wrote it and her real life husband, Brad Pitt starred the screenspace with her in the lead character. This is a tale of a struggling writer who goes to a French seas More
