Spy movies don’t get a lot seedier than Red Sparrow. The new thriller stars Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian woman coerced into joining a secret government program designed to train women and men to exploit the sexual desires of the enemy, by any means necessary, no matter how repugnant they may be.
It’s a grotesque concept but it might have at least been interesting if the filmmakers had anything interesting to say about it. Instead, director Francis Lawrence’s film tries to operate as a slick, sensual spy blockbuster while also constantly acknowledging just how messed up every single thing about it really is. It’s hard to take the film’s critique of dehumanization seriously when it takes every opportunity possible to luxuriate in its prurience, and it’s impossible to enjoy the film as a superficial thrill ride when every single scene is built on a foundation of horrific abuse.
