Serenity
It is the story that has aroused great controversy. The story tells of a man named Becker Dell, a captain of a fishing boat driving tours to a quiet tropical pocket called Plymouth Island. Things may change soon after her ex-wife, Karen, is chasing more desperately for help. Karen seems to be begging Del to save her and her young son from her violent new husband as the fishing trip seems to turn into a completely different turn.

The final nail in the McConaissance coffin.

Aiming for brain-bending, Serenity is certainly a head-scratcher; you'll wonder why the cast were drawn to such a questionable concept.

Neither tense, genuinely philosophical or surprising, Serenity ends up leaving the audience groaning, laughing hysterically at its awful execution, or willing the pain to end as its dated ideas play out.

You leave with a certain respect for the chutzpah of it all.

The film's maritime setting has a certain aptness because Serenity has all the hallmarks of a fish tale. Unfortunately, Knight lets this one get away.

At best, Serenity could turn into a cult film because of how spectacularly inept it is. [Full Review in Spanish]

At the critics' screening I attended, the audience was reduced to hysterics.

"Serenity" is, instead, full of ludicrous trivializations that bypass the story's troubling implications.
February 27, 2019
Serenity is a weirdly intimate film that builds a world so peculiar and enigmatic, it keeps you constantly guessing. Knight's experiment is a great success with one of the most chilling twists, ever.

The movie becomes even more ridiculous after its big reveal, which is obvious from early on and suggested in the opening shot.
January 25, 2019
A production more apt to deliver frustration than gratification.

If you like seeing authentically unusual movies, then ignore the haters: In its fusion of disparate genres, its sentimentality, and its weirdness, Serenity is actually worth watching.
