Let be frank and direct.. People out there will do everything to see one single minute of a celebrity's life.. any celebrity.. Then what if Angelina and Brad showcase a real life cast (despite the story), all of us wanted to see every minute of it.. every second of it.. 2 full minutes andasking for more.. because usually such dramatic moments of our life are veryyyyy slow.. passing very slow in our life.. and in this movie, this couple intended to make sure to feel every moment of it.. (and not by coincidence).. And for those who were disappointed to find no story..!! well I must tell them that a simple fight between a couple is enough to be a grand story..!! So this is a story in itself.. and being drama and sad made us feel how slow it is sad moments in our life.. It was so true feelings.. true feelings all over the movie.. that even whenever they're nude in some scenes, it reflected another meanings.. meanings of respect.. I feel honored that 2 powerfull persons have just shared with us precious moments that almost all of us have experienced .. and for those who didn't yet.. come again whenever u experience it in your life.. you will.. I am sure you will..!!! Cheers to Brad and Angelina..

This movie is boring and very slow paced, maybe too long for the theme. Jolie's character is extremely annoying and depressive. Nothing emotional, just a couple trying to save the marriage as they go through the mid-life crisis and each of them share a bizarre passion for spying the younger neighbors. Awkward. The setting is beautiful though, southern France is fascinating, for sure. Melanie Laurent does a nice supporting role and the atmosphere is dark and melancholic.

I kept waiting for something to happen to these two beautiful people. They are bored, and apparently not attracted to each other any more, but staying at a beautiful place surrounded by gorgeous scenery. They are unhappy, though. It's hard to empathize with these characters. Then they become obsessed with the newlywed neighbors, watching them have sex through a hole in the wall. Brad and Angelina become voyeurs, a turn-on, but not enough for their relationship. We find out later, it's because she's "barren," in a scene that is almost laughable. Kept waiting for Angelina to show some emotion. I became bored early with her wooden performance. First saw this movie before their break-up, and saw it again recently. I can recommend it based on foreshadowing of the cracks in their marriage, leading up to the real life break-up. So much can be seen between the lines. For the beautiful scenery, I would definitely recommend. But for anyone who doesn't appreciate slow-moving films, you will probably not enjoy.

I really tried to give this film a chance, even though I have seen very few positive reviews. Unfortunately, lovely Southern French scenery, stylish 70s ambiance, and two famous megastars couldn't save this plodding, microscopic examination of two of the most boring characters ever created. I simply did not care if the characters in this film lived or died. The only interesting and honest performance is delivered by Niels Arestrup as Michele, the sympathetic bar owner in whom Pitt's character confides while he drowns in drunken self-pity. Angelina Jolie is so bland and expressionless, and Brad Pitt looks like he'd rather be anywhere else except in this film. I've never thought of him or Jolie as particularly strong actors, but when given a passable script, each can usually deliver a reasonable performance Not here, unfortunately. All I can think is this film was just a narcissistic Jolie "vanity project." Seriously, I have seen better films from juniors and seniors in film school. It's galling to think you just need money to produce a film, not real talent.
