Plot[edit]

In modern-dayRussia,beautiful Dominika Egorova is a famousballerinawho supports her ill mother. After her leg being badly broken in a concert, Dominika is approached by her uncle Ivan, the deputy director of theSVR.She is tasked with seducing Dimitry Ustinov, aRussian gangster,in exchange for her mother's continued medical care. Meeting at a bar, the two go to her private room, where he rapes her. During this, he is killed by Sergei Matorin, an SVR operative authorized by Ivan. Ivan offers Dominika a choice: become an SVR operative, or be executed for witnessing Ustinov's assassination.

Nate Nash is aCIAoperative working in Moscow. While meeting with a Russianmolecode-namedMarble inGorky Park,they are confronted by the police. Nash creates a diversion to ensure his contact escapes unidentified. Nash is reassigned to the U.S. but insists he is the only person Marble will work with. Since he cannot return to Russia, he is assigned toBudapestto reestablish contact with Marble, which the SVR also deduce.

Dominika is sent to State School 4, a brutal specialist training school for "Sparrows" —operatives capable of seducing their targets withsexpionage.Dominika excels in her training, despite some friction with her trainer, known only as the Matron. Against Matron's recommendation, Ivan and General Vladimir Korchnoi, a high-ranking official working with Ivan, decide that Dominika is ready for an assignment in Budapest—to gain Nash's trust and expose Marble's identity.

In Budapest, Dominika lives with another "sparrow" named Marta, and is supervised bystation chiefMaxim Volontov. Dominika makes contact with Nash, who quickly determines she is a Russian intelligence operative and attempts to convince her todefect.

Dominika inspects Marta's room and finds she has been assigned to buy classified intelligence from Stephanie Boucher,chief of staffto aU.S. Senator.When Ivan pressures Dominika about her slow progress with Nash, Dominika claims to be helping Marta with Boucher as well. Marta is brutally killed by the SVR for learning about Dominika's earlier incident with the gangster. Dominika is warned this will happen to her if she fails. Dominika contacts Nash, agrees to become adouble agentin exchange for protection for her and her mother, and has sex with him. Under Russian orders, Dominika travels to London with Volontov to meet Boucher and complete the trade, but covertly switches out the intelligence Boucher supplies with CIA-supplied disinformation.

After the meeting, Boucher realizes that she is being observed by American intelligence agents; she panics, backs into traffic and is killed. Russian agents observing Boucher realize their mission has been compromised. Suspected of tipping off the Americans, Dominika and Volontov are recalled to Moscow where they are tortured and interrogated for days. Volontov is executed, but Dominika's claims of innocence are eventually believed by Ivan. She is allowed to return to Budapest to continue her mission of extracting Marble's identity from Nash. Instead, she convinces Nash to relocate her and her mother to America.

After spending the night with Nash, Dominika awakes to find him being tortured by Matorin for Marble's identity. She initially assists until Matorin lowers his guard and she kills him, but is badly injured while doing so. She awakes in a hospital where Korchnoi reveals himself as Marble. He explains that he was patriotic, but became disillusioned when a bureaucrat he had once offended refused to allow an American doctor to operate on his sick wife. He fears he will be caught soon and, instead of dying in vain, instructs Dominika to expose his identity to Ivan. Doing so would make her a national hero, and allow her to replace him as a mole passing intelligence to the CIA. When Dominika contacts her superiors, she frames Ivan as the mole instead, using evidence she had been fabricating since she first arrived in Hungary, and blaming him for the botched exchange in London. Ivan is killed during a prisoner exchange while Nate goes along with her plan to confirm the mole's identity, and Dominika is honored in a military ceremony after she returns to Russia.

Back in Russia, Dominika lives with her mother, and receives a phone call from an unknown person who playsGrieg's piano concerto,which she had told Nash was the piece to which she danced her first solo performance.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

After Jason Matthews' bookRed Sparrowwas published in 2013,20th Century Foxpurchased the film rights, and signedFrancis Lawrenceto direct.[11]Matthews said the idea of "sparrows" and a "sparrow school" was based on State School 4 in the Soviet Union, though Russian "sexpionage" is now done by women contracted outside of spy agencies.[12][13]The Russian concept ofkompromatwas also influential.[12]Francis worked on adapting Matthews' book in 2015, and has said that at the time, he had reservations about the timelines of aCold Warstory.[14]

ScreenwriterJustin Haythereduced the number of narrators and shifting perspectives in the novel, concentrating on Dominika.[11]Russian PresidentVladimir Putin,who appears in the novel, was also cut from the adaptation, due to Francis Lawrence's belief that it would be a distraction to have an actor play the highly public figure.[15]

Matthews, who said he based his book on his experiences in theCIA,[16]was also hired as technical advisor, to supervise the accuracy of the depiction of espionage.[11]He had the Gorky Park scene rewritten to depict espionage methods more accurately.[13]

Casting[edit]

Francis Lawrence presented the screenplay to Jennifer Lawrence, who accepted the part.[17]She stated she admired the character and his direction, with her sole point of hesitation being the "really sexual" nature of the character.[14]They met to discuss thenude scenes.[16]In 2014, Jennifer Lawrence had private nude photos stolen in theiCloud leaks.However, she drew a distinction between the film and the leak based on her consent to the film, as opposed to the leak.[17]Lawrence explained: "The insecurity and fear of being judged for getting nude, what I went through, should that dictate decisions I make for the rest of my life?"[16][18]

Matthews advised Lawrence that double agents from Russia feel "a dread of discovery, a dread of being arrested, a dread of going to prison."[13]Lawrence also studiedballetfor four months.[19]Kurt Froman of theNew York City Balletcoached her, as she had never studied ballet before, and spent four hours with her each day for five days per week.[20]American Ballet Theatreprincipal dancerIsabella Boylstonacted as Lawrence's dance double.[21]

As a former member of the CIA, Matthews coached actorJoel Edgerton.Edgerton said it was difficult to consider having "an interpersonal dating-style relationship... [and] That fact that you would have to report any of those kinds of interactions with your Boss es."[16]Matthias SchoenaertsandJeremy Ironsjoined the cast by December 2016.[6]

Filming[edit]

Festetics Mansion inDég

Principal photographystarted inBudapestandDunaújvárosinHungaryon January 5, 2017.[22][23][24]Other filming locations include Festetics Mansion inDég,Hungary;[25]Bratislava,Slovakia andVienna,Austria.[26]

Post-production[edit]

Inpost-production,Francis Lawrence offered Jennifer Lawrence the opportunity to view a cut of the film ahead of the studio and producers, so that she might request the deletion of any nude or sexual scenes. She declined to request any deletions.[17]However, the film was edited for the United Kingdom release to remove agarrotingand secure a15 certificatefrom theBritish Board of Film Classification.[27]

The film was originally scheduled to be released by20th Century Foxon November 10, 2017, but in April 2017 it was announced that the film's release would be pushed back to March 2, 2018, because it was seen as a less competitive one.[1][30]The studio's adaptation ofMurder on the Orient Expresswas moved intoRed Sparrow's November slot. The first trailer for the film was released on September 14, 2017.[31]The film premiered on February 15, 2018, at theNewseum,[32]and began a U.S. theatrical release on March 2.[20]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

Red Sparrowgrossed $46.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $104.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $151.5 million, against a production budget of $69 million.[3]

In the United States and Canada,Red Sparrowwas released alongsideDeath Wish,and was projected to gross $20–24 million from 3,056 theaters in its opening weekend.[38]It made $6 million on its first day (including $1.2 million from Thursday night previews) and $17 million over the weekend, finishing second, behind holdoverBlack Panther.Deadline Hollywoodnoted the opening was underwhelming given the film's $69 million budget, and that Lawrence's salary of $15–20 million was too much to spend on one star.[39]It fell 51% in its second weekend to $8.15 million, finishing fourth.[40]

Critical response[edit]

Jennifer Lawrence's performance was praised by critics.[41][42]

Onreview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,the film has an approval rating of 45%, based on 301 reviews, and an average rating of 5.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Red Sparrowaims for smart, sexy spy thriller territory, but Jennifer Lawrence's committed performance isn't enough to compensate for thin characters and a convoluted story. "[43]OnMetacritic,the film has a weighted average score of 53 out of 100, based on 51 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[44]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[39]

Manohla DargisofThe New York Timesfound the film to be "preposterously entertaining" and credited its success to Lawrence's performance, writing that "like all great stars, [Lawrence] can slip into a role as if sliding into another skin, unburdened by hesitation or self-doubt."[41]IndieWire's Eric Kohn, who graded the film a B, noted the performances of Lawrence and Rampling, stating that "the considerable talent on display is [the film's] constant saving grace." However, he also found that the film "doesn't know when to stop, sagging into bland torture scenes and an underwhelming final showdown."[42]Giving the film a B−,The A.V. Club's Jesse Hassenger noted its methodical nature, with its minimal action and character exploration, and remarked that Francis Lawrence "brings to this material what he brought toThe Hunger Games:a sense of style that feels constrained by obligations to hit a certain number of plot points. "[45]

Alonso DuraldeofTheWrapcriticized the derivative story and the lack of chemistry between Lawrence and Edgerton, calling the film "neither intelligent enough to be involving nor fun enough to be trashy."[46]Michael Phillipsof theChicago Tribunegave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars and said, "Half of theRed Sparrowaudience will spend at least part of the running time fighting off memories ofSaltandAtomic Blondeand theBlack Widowstoryline fromThe Avengers.The other half, meantime, will wonder when spy movies became quite so punishing. "[47]Simran Hans ofThe Guardianfound the film to be sexist, writing that "it busies itself with the grim surface pleasures of ogling its central character as she is degraded in every way possible."[48] Emily Gaudette ofNewsweekcalled the film a "sadistic torture porn" and went on to ask "how many naked women need to be assaulted in a film before a director has made his point?... for Francis Lawrence, the answer is a pile so big it's impossible to tell the victims apart."[49]

The estimation reported byRussianpublications was lower than the global average. According to Megacritic, the average score was 4.7 out of 10 based on more than 30 reviews.[50]
