Bella B @BellaSnoopy Jul 19 One of The best film of this couple! They’re was just perfect and i know them more. Such a masterpiece See more Blu B Apr 16 It's ok. It reminds me of a more boring and less refined version of a film like Two for the Road in terms of the ideas. (Maybe not the Peeping Tom part lol). Pretty much everything about this is so middle of the road. Jolie's direction isn't terrible though hoenstly. Some good framing, and the setting is memorable. Biggest problems here is the first 30 minutes are so boring. It's them just moping around feeling sorry, being rich and miserable with no real narrative. Than once they start spying on the couple it does actually find a narrative to build around but it just gets so repetitive seeing them spy on the couple screwing. Once you've seen it once it makes the other 7-8 times just boring. This also just goes in circles, struggles with a consistent pacing, and isn't sure how to make the ideas it explores of infertility, dealing with quasi grief, anger, and loss of love into something cohesive. It's not incoherent to it's credit but just not cohesive at all. The music als is very boring, generic, and forgettable too. This probably could've cut 40 minutes at least frm the runtime and not lost much. It's not a terrible film but just very boring, meandering, and inconsistent. Skip This. Plenty of other better films that explore these ideas better. See more Filippos S Mar 23 If Angelina and Brad weren't acting, someone would say it's a mediocre to bad movie. They're promoting it as much as they can, but not enough to make it a good movie. A bit boring, nice shots. See more kay Jan 26 absolutely loved watching it a second time, however it was hard to watch at first cuz I couldn’t figure out what was going on from the lack of dialogue and it was quite slow See more Bronwyn D 06/26/2024 Not a good movie. Made it to the end though (which I won't do if movie is HORRIBLE). It was very slow, but That I don't mind, when I'm engaged with the characters. I liked Husband much more than Wife. And though I'm an Angelina fan, this might have been her worst role. And I can't help feeling like Pitt did this film FOR her. Like maybe he knew it was bad. But maybe not. It's too bad they split in real life soon after this movie was released. It's nice the movie ending was hopeful, but I don't think realistic. The scenery & their hotel- Gorgeous. The story just not good. See more Alec B 12/14/2023 Yes the movie is a self-indulgent vanity project, but it's worst crime is being unbearably boring. If you're looking for a campy train wreck, you'll be sorely disappointed. Jolie seems to be trying to stylistically imitate a lavish, sad European art film but ends up with something a little closer to a Louis Vuitton commercial. See more Read all reviews
