The critical consensus

This third film is such a disappointingly self-indulgent, vapid vanity project it almost feels like a parody.

**(*)(*)(*)Angie Errigo, The List, 08/12/2015

A Sheltering Sky-lite romantic travelogue that, despite its two leads, lacks any real spark.

**(*)(*)(*)Terri White, Empire Online, 09/12/2015

Her first film as writer-director-actor borrows from Antonioni and Stanley Donen, but Jolie Pitt neglects to direct her own performance.

**(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 10/12/2015

We get to see Angelina do her grocery shopping while Brad painstakingly trims his moustache.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 10/12/2015

Newlyweds awaken Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s sex life in this slow-moving vanity project.
