Serena
0/10
Did
you know that two of the hottest stars in Hollywood have a new movie
out? Normally when two Academy Award winners who have both recently
been in high grossing films are working together in a new film that
have worked in a previous film together that people loved (but I
hated Silver Linings Playbook) you can't stop seeing them all over TV
doing interviews. But not with this film, Serena. You will not see a
commercial or anything even though it comes out today. Why? Because
it is fucking terrible.
This
is based off of an incredible book with the same title written by Ron
Rash that came out back in 2008. It is about a newlywed couple that
works in the lumber industry in the 1930's. I know. Sounds boring.
But I assure you that it is a great book. How come? Incredible
characters! The movie? No. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence
manage to have less chemistry than a school in Los Angeles. Every
scene in this is rough to watch.
This
movie takes a small part of the book and makes it the driving force
in the film and runs with it. Just...runs with it until it dies. I'm
not sure who is at fault with this. I have read people blaming the
director, the writer, but no one is blaming the stars. I heard this
was being made years ago and was shocked to find out that not only
was it filmed, but released overseas last year, and then had its dry
corpse finally dragged to America. No thank you.
