The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

CriticsCritics: 59
AudienceAudience: 6.8

Decades before Panem’s familiar tyranny, a determined young man from a fallen Capitol family is assigned to mentor a singer from District 12 in the early Hunger Games. As he helps shape her public image and chances of survival, ambition, loyalty, and distrust begin pulling them in dangerous directions.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like morally complex prequels, political dystopias, and character-driven tension, especially The Hunger Games; Not for you if slow pacing, frequent songs, or long runtimes frustrate you.
