Jennifer Lawrence’s Red Sparrow Has Screened, Here’s What People Are Saying

Since rising to fame at the start of the decade with movies like Winter's Bone, X-Men: First Class and The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence has become one of Hollywood's most popular stars. Her latest movie is Red Sparrow (adapted from the Jason Matthews-penned book of the same name), which follows a Russian spy who is sent to target a CIA agent for her first mission, but ends up falling for him and considers becoming a double agent. Red Sparrow is still two weeks away from being released to the masses, but early reactions have already come in on social media, and it looks like the movie could be another win for the actress' resume, though it's not for the squeamish.

Starting off, CinemaBlend's own Eric Eisenberg praised Red Sparrow for its action and brutality, speculating that this might be the first in a series of movies.

 

Next, The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider praised Jennifer Lawrence for her performance in Red Sparrow and noted that the movie is just the kind of fare that adults will appreciate. Erik Davis from Fandango also commended Jennifer Lawrence for her work on Red Sparrow, though he did note that the movie is a little longer and doesn't pack as much action as something like the Charlize Theron-led Atomic Blonde.

Overall, it sounds like Red Sparrow is a decent action movie that's worth checking out during the spring cinematic season. However, as more reactions and reviews come in, and given the movie's subject matter, it's possible the reception might become more mixed, making it comparable to Jennifer Lawrence's last movie, the extremely polarizing mother! from director Darren Aronofsky.

Red Sparrow will be released in theaters on March 2. If you're interested in finding out what other movies are coming later in the year (like X-Men: Dark Phoenix, where Jennifer Lawrence will reprise Mystique), head over to our 2018 release schedule.
