This film is based off the novel with the same title written by Ron Rash. George Pemberton falls in love, and marries, Serena. Together they work to improve production within their timber business in the 1930's. However, the tragedy that befalls them causes a dangerous rift in their relationship.
This film was directed by Susanne Bier. The plot of this story (a love gone terribly wrong), and its subplot, attempts to take a lot of cue's from literary tactics; such a symbolism. However, it lacked the time to fully generate the full emotional scope it needed. The two leading characters aren't given much time to break from their insanity or cliches to garner likability. Now there are some plot twists that occur rather suddenly, but it works itself out. In the cinematography are several breathtaking open shots of the forest. This film reunites two familiar actors together playing insane love roles. As good as they are together, it could become predictably too familiar. Jennifer Lawrence played the role of Serena Pemberton (Nee Shaw). She is gorgeous in this film-even her unfaltering hair. Her performance makes this film interesting to watch. Bradley Cooper played the role of George Pemberton. He is a great supporting actor for Lawrence.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! This film has a lot of raw potential to be a great deadly love story, but it just falls off the mark in some spots.
This film can be seen on DVD.
