Our take on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

Francis Lawrence directs this 2014 chapter of the saga, in which Katniss, having survived the Quarter Quell, takes refuge in the hidden stronghold of District 13 as the rebellion against the Capitol gathers force. Reluctant to become the symbol of resistance, she navigates fragile alliances while trying to protect the people she loves, and as propaganda wars rage, Panem edges toward all-out conflict. This installment trades arena spectacle for political maneuvering and inner conflict, so it rewards viewers already following the story rather than newcomers. If you're invested in Katniss's arc and want a tense, deliberately paced setup for the finale, its focus on the cost of revolution lands.
