Trivia:
Director and writer Angelina Jolie about the period setting: "I chose to set By the Sea (2015) in the 1970s, not only because it is a colorful and alluring era, but because it removes many of the distractions of contemporary life and allows the focus to remain squarely on the emotions that the characters experience in their journey."

Simply beautiful and captivating, further proof that this is the most
powerful couple in the world! Angelina in his best role ever!
The film goes on a tremendous message, which I will not give any
spoiler about it, but I have to say, the movie is really magnificent in
single every way, every single aspect.
Jolie when directed this film, she knew every detail and every angle,
she also knew about her difficulties of making nude scenes and
directing her husband, but maybe all these difficulties helped her make
this beautiful drama worthy of an Oscar.
Watch if you like a nice drama and watch if you like movies that are
always nominated for Oscar.
