How sad is this?
... View MoreVery interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

... View MoreTime to think and reflect, time to ponder. Opportunity to reflect on the darkness of suffering hearts, feeling of misery and love slowly turning into madness - thats how it felt in smokey mountains, a classical greek tragedy, but with entangled stories!
... View MoreI've never seen a more severely distorted movie adaptation from a novel than with Serena. The saga written by Ron Rash paints a picture of a Serena we never see on screen. She is independent, fierce, and unsympathetic from the first scene in the book. She is always in control; if by chance something takes her off guard, she strikes back quickly. There's a reason the novel is simply called Serena, not George Pemberton's Wife has a Breakdown. To read it is to be intrigued by a multifaceted, engaging woman.

Sadly, there is this switch from high quality to a somewhat lower level of movie-making for the last 20 minutes or soAnd of course there is the problem of Bradley Cooper- the performer with capabilities adequate for TV chopping channel, who somehow became an successful actor. He plays the main male character, annoying the viewers with his presence. What a bummer this is
