The Guardian wrote about ‘By the Sea’:

After impressing with her first feature in the director’s chair – In the Land of Blood and Honey – Angelina Jolie disappointed with her studio-sized sophomore drama, Unbroken, which reeked of a desperate bid to be taken seriously by awards voters with its schmaltz tone and massive scale. For her third feature, By the Sea, Jolie has gone in the opposite direction to serve up an intimate character study. It seems like the transition has brought out the best in Jolie.

Jolie is the founding muse of Anne of Carversville.

Presumably the tabloids won’t let up on the fact that Brangelina is coming unglued and there’s no love left in the house, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were beyond joined at the hip last night, at UNICEF’s Ball honoring Jerry Weintraub.

The pair looked very Cultural Creative last evening, perhaps the most “au naturel” we’ve seen them when attending a gala. Angelina Jolie is a UNICEF ambassador and chose to not outshine the grime of the many devastating war and poverty zones that she covers on her international beat.

Diamonds at the Beverly Wilshire and starving camps in Somalia don’t make the best press, although no one would throw even a marsh mellow at Jolie and Pitt, a couple who goes beyond “walking their talk” for humanitarian causes.
