My Review of Serena

        So I recently watched Serena and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado............

        The North Carolina mountains at the end of the 1920s - George and Serena Pemberton (played by Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence respectively), love-struck newly-weds, begin to build a timber empire. Serena soon proves herself to be equal to any man: overseeing loggers, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving a man's life in the wilderness. With power and influence now in their hands, the Pembertons refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their inflated love and ambitions. However, once Serena discovers George's hidden past and faces an unchangeable fate of her own, the Pemberton's passionate marriage begins to unravel leading toward a dramatic reckoning.

       

        This film is just absolutely terrible. Look Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are two of the most talented actors on the planet and they both have been nominated for numerous Academy Awards with Lawrence winning one. They have done some great films together like Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, but this film is not one of them. They look so lost and confused on-screen together and the film is just really boring. It's set in the 1920's which to me is one of the most boring and depressing periods (no pun intended towards The Great Depression) in the history of American. I thought the whole premise was just stupid. Overall the film has no redeeming qualities and it is a film that nobody will ever remember and thankfully that is the case. I give Serena a 0 out of 10.

        So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Serena, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
