Jennifer Lawrence Performances In Film
Jennifer Lawrence has successfully managed to mix a sassy toughness with a sexiness that makes us go weak at the knees. The talented actress’s charm, intelligence and dynamism on-screen has conspired to produce one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
Jennifer Lawrence might be one of Hollywood’s most
beautiful stars but her status as a s***x symbol is the sort of baggage that
comes with celebrity. Lawrence is talented. She’s sassy and strong willed,
charming and intelligent. She boasts range on-screen, and can play quiet and
contemplative just as well as loud and combative.
That said, her beauty has made fan boys and girls purr adding a
bankable sheen to the talent she possesses as an actress. In Hollywood,
she’s the ideal star – s***xy and accomplished in her craft. Indeed, her
capacity to tackle roles as diverse as a depressed widow in Silver Lining’s
Playbook to an ass-kicking hero in The Hunger Games is indicative of her
prowess and dexterity as an actor.
American Hustle
“We fight and we f***, that’s what we do” as Lawrence’s Rosalyn tries to
keep her marriage alive with Irving (Christian Bale).
In a film
where the con is definitely always on, we’re coerced by voice-over to
suspect Rosalyn is playing the same sorts of games her husband has been
doing for years. I couldn’t help but go weak at the knees when the
persuasive MILF uses her sexiness in body and words to seduce her whimpering
husband.
Red Sparrow
In Red Sparrow, a film adaptation of Jason Matthews’ 2013 novel,
Jennifer Lawrence’s ballerina Dominika Egorova is recruited to the “Sparrow
School”, a Russian intelligence service training unit where operatives are
forced to use their bodies as a weapon. In her first mission, Lawrence’s
agent is sent to make contact with a CIA officer in the hope of discovering
the identity of a mole.
SVR operatives like Egorova are capable
of seducing their targets with sexpionage. She excels at this type of
intelligence-gathering approach. As you’d expect, there are a number of
moments when Lawrence is required to either take her clothes off, partake in
some form of sex, or both.
Film critic Manohla Dargis found the
film to be “preposterously entertaining” and credited its success to
Lawrence’s performance, writing in The New York Times that “like all great
stars, [she] can slip into a role as if sliding into another skin,
unburdened by hesitation or self-doubt.”
