Red Sparrow Short Movie Review

Red Sparrow is a thriller starring Jennifer Lawrence, as a Russian intelligence officer who seduces the enemies of the state. Definitely, this is not for children or adolescents: it is full of graphic and bloody violence, which includes attempts of rape, murder, horrible corpses, fights, blows and disturbing scenes of torture.

Sexual content is also mature, with scenes of graphic sex, topless women and full frontal male nudity, as well as many sexual conversations and innuendo. The language is not frequent, but it is quite strong, with uses of "fuck", "shit", "pussy" and more. Most of the characters smoke and drink socially, and one is amazingly drunk.
