Overreacting about the state of her career much?

 

It’s overreacting to say her career is dead?

Because she made two very divisive films that audiences mostly stayed away from (we don't know how Red Sparrow will fare quite yet but I'm guessing it's not gonna finish much higher than double mother! made)? lol.

 

Besides, mother! might have flopped big time but was arguably one of the most talked about movies of last year. So even when she loses, she wins. Enough of this nonsense.

Red Sparrow looks like the Black Widow movie that we should have gotten years ago from Marvel.

You hear that Jennifer? MovieMan89 HIGHLY ADVISES you to not do what you feel like doing with your life

[Apollo2xx]

I'm honestly very excited for this, really hope it's good.

I don't give a shit about critics, since I have liked recent 50% RT movies, so I expect this one to follow the pattern.

Why are there still so few reviews?

Doing Tarantino's movie would've squashed any complaints about fading awareness with the GA.

That movie is probably going to be toxic with his comments on Polanski and Polanski being a character in the movie, so she is great in steering away from it.

What this needed was the marvel studios logo for it to get 90+% on RT and smash the box office.

good question. UK press seeing it tonight at the London premiere so expect more from them.

Jennifer Lawrence is not taking a year off from acting

[Hatebox]

Lawrence could have 5 more bombs in a row before needing to seriously worry about her career, but yeah - this clearly isn't the home-run she might have hoped for. It looks like a dour, adult-oriented film that's being marketed as a bit more fun than it is.

No? I mean she could have 5 flops and she'll still get work because she's a good actress but she wont be someone that gets big paychecks or has big hits. she'll be like nicole kidman or reese

[Nova]

Jennifer Lawrence could say she's retiring from acting completely and still get the best scripts sent her way. The reality is that Jlaw is a very talented actress so even when her movies dont do too well commercially or critically, she still gets praised. The only thing that might change career wise is how much money she is able to demand up front. But in terms of the kind of projects she gets offered, that's not going to change. 

 

This is actually one of the few movies I've been looking forward to from now until Deadpool. And I'm really hoping it's a box office hit not only for Jlaw but so Hollywood doesn't use it as an excuse to not make female spy movies.

But "Spy" was a hit...so Hollywood cannot make that excuse.

Premiere happened, more reviews soon?

But who would take her place? There are very few 20-something actress superstars at the moment. If she were in her 40s it'd be a very different matter.

Someone who breaks out just as she did in Winter's Bone. It's not like we can see who these people are in advance.

Winter's Bone was not her breakout role. An Oscar nomination won't make you a superstar.

Are those upright and tight or sagging? Can't tell.
