Serena
Filmed three years ago, this pre-fame Jennifer Lawrence flick is finally being released, presumably to capitalize on our unbridled nostalgia for North Carolina’s Depression-era logging industry. JLaw stars alongside her Silver Linings Playbook superbro Bradley Cooper as they mumble and spit their way through their period roles. A WOMAN? SWINGING AN AXE? It’s gonna be like that, guys. JLaw is less noticeably bad, but to be fair, her character is written as a creature outside of time—she's a woman with an iron will and a pet eagle.
