Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new movie "By The Sea" is set to come out this month but it has already received flak as critics described it as a vanity project.

In a review by Variety's Justin Chang, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's "By the Sea" is said to be an "unabashed vanity project that struggles to turn its own beautiful inertia into a virtue."

The critic also added that the film is "meandering and overlong in ways that will test the patience of even diehard Brangelina fans," which he also referred as "reductive and obvious."

Meanwhile, a report from The Wrap described the power couple's movie as a "soporific drama that teeter on parody."

"The characters have literally been turned into posers, photogenically suffering in and around a seaside hotel as though they were appearing in the September issue of Vogue for Depressives," the report said.

The "Maleficent" star and the "World War Z" actor star in "By the Sea" as a couple struggling on their marriage. They went on a holiday where they tried to save their relationship.

The movie was filmed right after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt married in France last year.

Amid filming their first movie as a married couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also faced divorce rumors after the two reportedly had a heated argument.

Rumors have it that Angelina Jolie, who is the director and the producer of the film, has been controlling Brad Pitt on his acting skills, which allegedly generated quite a reaction from the "Fury" actor.

It was also reported that the "By the Sea" is the reflection of their marriage. But the mother-of-six was quick to deny the speculations.

Angelina Jolie told news.com.au, "To be clear, we have fights and problems like any other couple. We have days where we just drive each other absolutely mad and want space. But the problems they have in the movie aren't our specific problems."
