Jennifer Lawrence's 'Red Sparrow' is Streaming Success on Netflix after 45% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Jennifer Lawrence’s Red Sparrow brought a ballerina to an action-packed thriller long before John Wick’s upcoming spinoff was on the cards, but despite arriving to a mixed reception in 2018, the film has now found a new audience on Netflix. This is not the first of Lawrence’s older movies to find huge success on streaming, as her divisive sci-fi movie Passengers has been frequenting the Top 10 of many platforms in the last several months. Now, Red Sparrow is flying up the charts, and reached a peak of 7th in Netflix’s global chart.
Despite the star power, which along with Lawrence includes Jeremy Irons, Joel Edgerton, and Joely Richardson, the film struggled to please everyone, landing itself a split score on both Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer and Popcornmeter. Critics had no problem praising Lawrence’s performance in the lead role, but did not buy into the film’s “needlessly sadistic” plot and pacing.
