Angelina Jolie Pitt's 'By the Sea' panned
Angelina Jolie's latest attempt at film-making is meeting with some stark reviews so far.
"By the Sea," which was written and directed by Jolie, tells the story of a couple in 1970's France who are working through marriage issues and find themselves drawn into the lives of people living in a small seaside town.
The Hollywood Reporter is describing the film, which she stars in along with husband Brad Pitt, as a "vanity project."
Variety calls the film "meandering" and "overlong."
Of the positive reviews - if you can call it that - Indiwire describes "By the Sea" as a "cult curiou in the Jolie-Pitt filmography"
"By the Sea" is Jolie's third attempt at directing.
Her last film, "Unbroken," earned 160-million dollars worldwide, but has also been panned by critics as over-drawn and historically questionable.
