Critics Consensus

Red Sparrow aims for smart, sexy spy thriller territory, but Jennifer Lawrence's committed performance isn't enough to compensate for thin characters and a convoluted story.

Chicago Reader

Director Francis Lawrence... seems to have reasoned that, because Russian literature is so long and slow, making his movie long and slow would be the path to authenticity.

There is only so much Jennifer Lawrence can do in this set up.

Needlessly sadistic and often troubling in tone, some keen supporting performances can't save this uneven and forgetful film.

Rated: 3/5

Vague Visages

In post-Hunger Games mode, Jennifer Lawrence continues her streak of pushing the envelope. Even if her accent feels awkward at times, she is mostly convincing as a Slavic agent...

Deep Focus Review

Most of Red Sparrow looks slick and, somehow, doesn't overstay its welcome, even while being mostly forgettable.

Rated: 2/4

[Red Sparrow] looks good, has a strong lead performance, and it never becomes boring. But, it also lacks a lot of what audiences will probably want out of a movie like this.

Rated: 3/5

Hard to imagine what a movie requires for it to reach an audience. 'Red Sparrow' is similar to 'Anna' in that a female has to fight her way out through a system forced upon her to attain the freedom she seeks. Both movies had a compelling story line, female heroine, loads of action, and both movies received mediocre reviews. While the #1 movie this week is Hit Man, receiving 97% rating on RT, which I saw only last week and I can't remember anything about the movie only that I thought it a waste of time while watching it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I had never, in my entire life, seen such a stereotypical and prejudiced view of our brothers, who make up the Russian people.

I found this a very realistic spy thriller. While some may the sexual exploits a bit much, I think that this is how many spies get information. The torture and lack of trust were believable, as well.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
