Rachel Zegler proves she's a movie star in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is the first film in The Hunger Games franchise since The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 was released back in 2015.
Fans of The Hunger Games will undoubtedly be thrilled to return to Panem, and those who have read Collins' novel won't be disappointed by the choices made by Lawrence and screenwriters Michael Leslie and Michael Arndt. While there will always be moments and characters cut from adaptations, every omission in this case was clearly calculated with care.
Blyth also deserves praise for taking on the role of Snow, which is no easy feat when you're following in the footsteps of a legend like Donald Sutherland. Blyth manages to make you like him despite knowing his character's future, which enhances the tension as you wonder when, or if, the film will feature his villainous turn.
In a movie filled with dark themes, Jason Schwartzman's Lucretius"Lucky" Flickerman serves as a delightful breath of fresh air. Following in the footsteps of Stanely Tucci's Caesar Flickerman, Schwartzman plays the very first host of the Hunger Games. He will keep you laughing with his clueless demeanor, and you will be grateful for the levity.
