I'll grant that it's far away form the book (even Cruise's casting is way off-base), but the finished film is very strong. If you can find a way to let go of the book, get some distance from it, I think you might enjoy it better.  __________________

This 'descent into madness' thing is odd, being as that isn't what happens with Serena in either the book or the script that I read. She doesn't go mad, she reveals a calculated coldness, and a callousness which makes her extremely dangerous. It's also worth pointing out that others who have seen the movie, have been quick to single Jennifer out for praise. Time will tell, but it's sounding as though the film may have fallen foul of the editing process. Then again, with Magnolia assuming the distribution duties it's possible that they'll return to an earlier (more coherent) cut... __________________

I remember Steven Soderbergh saying he'd seen it months ago. What I read in the THR piece more than anything else, was that the movie was re-edited multiple times to try to suit the US buyers. From what I'd heard, it was the pacing they were unhappy with. Too slow. I remember David Poland tweeted something to that effect. It sounds as though re-edits made the movie uneven, and incoherent. It's looking like the finished flick is just mediocre. I doubt it has anything to do with Jennifer, and I expect she'll be allotted some measure of praise by critics, and the film will disappear like House at the End of the Street did. Swallowed up by Mockingjay Part I. Shame. It had potential... __________________

Eh, it's disappointing, but I would stress that the words of on distributor shouldn't be taken as gospel.
It was clear there had to be some issue when no US distributor wanted it, but try to remember that these guys think in financial terms. They're concerned with whether they can sell the movie, and turn a profit. At the end of the day, they didn't think that Serena could do that for them. The very slow pace of the film would be enough for them to make that determination. Again, it would seem the film is sadly mediocre, but I have trouble believing that Jennifer is in anyway problematic. __________________

What Really Happened to Serena, Starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence

Now, obviously Bowles has a horse in the race, but I can't imagine that with all the talent involved this movie could be truly bad. Maybe it's a little flat, or less than it could be. Or maybe it's better than we're being told. We'll have a better idea in about a month... __________________

About this fuss around whether the movie is good or not blah blah blah etc etc ...
That's why I never read the reviews about movies I wanna see before seeing them, I prefer to make an opinion by myself without any critics pollution to spoil the viewing. __________________
