Anne Hathaway defends 'Serenity' from scathing reviews: 'I endorse the movie'

Anne Hathaway isn't letting negative reviews of "Serenity," her new film with Matthew McConaughey, change her opinion of the project.

The 36-year-old actress shared a photo on Instagram of her look from the "Serenity" New York premiere, with a message saying she's standing by the film.

"We keep it real around here: some critics get @serenityfilm and, like me, find it interesting, moving, ambitious and different, and for some it just doesn’t work," she wrote. "That’s cool- there is no failure, only learned events, not everyone has to like everything, and the critical response doesn’t change my feelings about the movie.

"However, other people’s time and money are not to be taken for granted, so I just want to be clear: I endorse the movie, many critics don’t ," she added. "Anyway, wasn’t my @givenchyofficial skirt for the premiere rad?"

Critics: Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey's 'Serenity' is 'the daftest movie of 2019'

The movie, which stars McConaughey as a fishing boat captain and Hathaway as his ex-wife, was lambasted by critics for its wacky plot.

"The more we learn about that half of things the less sense the rest of the movie makes," Wesley Morris wrote for The New York Times. "That includes a big reveal that’s like the worst of Christopher Nolan, M. Night Shyamalan and the condolence-card section at Walgreens."

The Arizona Republic's Andy Cordova agreed, writing, "A twist ending satisfies when it's surprising yet logical: You look back and say, 'Oh, now I see what that meant' and you piece together how things add up. That's fun.' But when an inane ending appears out of nowhere and purports to add depth to a movie which has little? That's just maddening. And the twist in 'Serenity' leaves you feeling both cheated and annoyed, which surely isn't the filmmaker's intention."
