About This Movie

Serpendipity (2019) is this quirky little animation that blends comedy and romance in a rather unique way. Directed by Kevin Barwick, the film dives into the nervousness of dating, but with a twist: our lead, Gordon, has snakes for hair which can turn people to stone. It's a bizarre but charming concept, and the visuals really play into the whimsical atmosphere—there are some inventive practical effects that make the snake-hair thing surprisingly engaging. The pacing is quite brisk, keeping the story light and funny throughout. Themes of love and acceptance run through, and it's interesting to see how they navigate the absurdity of Gordon's condition. The performances are lively, capturing that anxious energy of a first date beautifully.
