Review: Tess and I went to see this for my birthday after a month long wait for a data. Worth the wait. The two of us read the trilogy last year at same time so were highly eager for the film. These are tough books to make into film- but it is a an admirable job. I was surprised the film was able to capture the struggle to maintain humanity amidst the horror. Lawrence is a revelation as the heroine Katniss. Harrelson is quite the part and Tucci is to die for. Banks is unrecognizable and Lenny Kravitz has a very key small part. Great scenery and captures the angst of it all…. And the metaphors.
