According to the British Board of Film Classification, Jennifer Lawrence’s ‘Red Sparrow’ Was the Most-Complained-About Film of 2018

May 29, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

The Francis Lawrence-directed “Red Sparrow” was given a hard R in the States. It starred Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian spy and, by, all accounts, the sexuality and violence in the film was something that we rarely see these days in a big studio movie. J-Law even delivered the first nude scene of her career. The film itself was a well-made spy thriller, albeit one with some overlength issues, but, again, it was the kind of adult drama that is rarely greenlit these days in Hollywood.

Francis Lawrence‘s "Red Sparrow" (Which opens on March 2nd) was shot in Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and, very briefly, London.

"Red Sparrow" is a 139-minute cold-war spy-thriller that is as much about sex as it is about spying.
