Movies: Jennifer Lawrence In Her Most Daring, Bare-It-All Role In “Red Sparrow”

Academy Award® winner Jennifer Lawrence who has established herself as the highest-grossing action heroine of all-time for her role in the worldwide blockbuster “The Hunger Games” franchise, stars anew in her latest R-rated starrer “Red Sparrow” that gives the audience an exhilarating reveal on the makings of a fully adept spy (especially) in sexual manipulation.

Lawrence takes on the role of Dominika Egorova, a ballerina who is forced to enter a state-run spy school after a terrible accident leaving her and her mother no choice but to be manipulated by the government. “(Director) Francis had introduced me to the story on the press tour for the last Hunger Games movie,” confirms the Lawrence. “It was a book that he had been reading and he thought it would be an interesting movie. I think the first thing that we were discussing for Dominika is that this was going to be a person and a personality that’s completely different from anything I really knew.  She’s really been put into a position of survival from a very young age.   Her body has been used by the Government from the time that she was young.  What with Ballet, being an athlete, being paid by the Government and then ultimately forced into the Sparrow program. I mean, when I first read the script and we talked about it, the Sparrow School scenes were terrifying. It was going to be my first time really going… um, the full Monty if you will, but then after doing it there’s something that felt so freeing about it.  Because I would never put my character into a situation that I myself am not comfortable being in.  But as you can see in the movie it’s this moment where she gains power, where she turns the tables on the people that are trying to control her and I felt that power. I found that exciting. Because the truth is Dominika’s trained to use her body but, ultimately, prevails by using her mind.  To me she seems like a complex modern heroine, she uses her own rules, and has a tenacity to succeed.”

Jennifer Lawrence takes on the shoes of prima ballerina Dominika Egorova who, after suffering an injury is pulled into the world of espionage by his patriot Uncle Vanya (Schoenaerts).  Against her will, Dominika becomes an asset of the Russian government in order to keep her home and medical care for her mother (Richardson).  She is then admitted to Sparrow school, where her sexuality is weaponized as she plays pawn to the powers that forced her into becoming a spy.  Her training ultimately leads her to CIA operative Nate Nash, portrayed in the film by Joel Edgerton.  Author Matthews explains the unusual courtship between Nate and Dominika: “Inevitably, they fall in love, which is dangerous and forbidden for him.  Like Romeo and Juliet, it’s a love affair that can’t end well.” Dominika is actually a civilian who is forced into a spy plot, and whose training in spy craft is a means to survive, and to protect her mother.”
