Angelina Jolie-Pitt's third directorial outing reunites her with husband Pitt for the first time since they starred together in Mr. And Mrs. Smith, though those expecting explosive action – or, well, any action at all – should look away now. They are drunk writer Roland and ex-dancer-now-pill-popper Vanessa, a couple whose relationship teeters on the brink of breakdown.
They seek distraction (and possible reconciliation) by spying on their honeymooning neighbours in a small French coastal town. The cause of the marital discord is withheld until the very last act, which means we're treated to two hours of almost nothing save some laboured lying around from Jolie. Yes, it's pretty but it's also pretty vacant.
