I am so glad to see many reviews which give the right value to this movie. 'Red Sparrow' had been castigated for unnecessary violence and sexual scenes and implications. This may be true, and I have to admit some of the scenes and narratives are too disturbing, not just hard to watch but hard to comprehend. Sexpionage itself is uncomfortable topic because it exploits and undermines the dignity of sex. However, the story involving Dominika's double espionage and double identity and Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of her are so entertaining and perfect. The whole 140 minutes pass by really fast while focusing on the path of finding a mole, on figuring out where Dominika's loyalty lies, and on her relationship with Nash and his uncle. The twist at the ending especially deserves the compliment because it signifies her loyalty, her decision, her resolution, and her revenge. Perfect ending for those who has been rooting for her for more than two hours. 'Red Sparrow' is totally worth of watching it again. It has received all the hate it does not deserve.

Exciting and intriguing storyline. Great Ending.
Incredible but uncomfortable thriller
Red Sparrow is an incredible thriller that's unpredictable, extremely well made and tense. Jennifer Lawrence gives an incredible lead performance with Joel Edgerton and Matthias Schoenaerts giving great performances. Francis Lawrence's direction is excellent. The pacing is also great. The only downside is that is almost excessively disturbing in places.
brilliant spy thriller
Great plot - great twists - gritty - great acting by Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton. Amongst the best spy thrillers I have seen. Very satisfying conclusion.
