So after a couple of years on the shelf, Susanne Bier's dramatic period piece
Serena finally played in front of audiences at BFI London Film Festival and...well, it didn't turn out so good. After reports surfaced that multiple studios had turned down the film because of how terrible it was, early reviews seem to back that up. The star power of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence may yet carry it to some level of box office success, though, and in small pieces the film doesn't look that bad.
The latest clip follows Lawrence as the titular character, the wife of a wealthy timber magnate as she teaches the workers how to do the job right. You get a sense of how strong and capable she is, but we know her mental state will be tested when her husband's secrets come to light.
Serena opens in theaters here on March 27th 2015, preceded by a VOD run on February 26th.
