    The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

    ★★★

    Climax had great potential but was executed weakly. Other than that, a plot that’s at all times interesting and leaves you continuously questioning Snow’s motives and character though fails to convincingly convey the intended character development.

    ★★½

    Certainly an enjoyable and endearing way to spend 90 minutes.
    The film succeeds in telling the (hardly new) story of the struggles of poverty from solely a child’s perspective and does so in a heartwarming manner. 
    The film does, however, suffer from rather lacklustre acting all around, a weak plot, and a repetitive eagerness to include yet another unconvincing crying child shot.
    Nonetheless, by the climax I did find myself anxiously rooting for our young protagonist to triumph: so it must have done something right.
