This movie belongs to Jennifer Lawrence. I don’t mean that Jennifer Lawrence does a pretty OK job of not messing up a beloved character, and that all those naysayers when she was first cast probably won’t have much to complain about. I mean that Jennifer Lawrence owns this movie. From the moment Katniss rushes forward to take her sister’s place at the Reaping (the event that chooses the Hunger Games contestants each year), the screen belongs to Lawrence. From loyal sister to reluctant celebrity to battle-tested hero, Lawrence is everything we could have hoped for in a Katniss Everdeen. - Heather Hogan The Hunger Games review: The odds are ever in Jennifer Lawrence’s favor
