As we eagerly await the new Hunger Games movie, which is due out on… November 6, 2023 comes to German cinemas, it is worth looking back at the previous four parts of the Hunger Games. Actress Jennifer Lawrence immortalized the role of Katniss Everdeen. But the rewatch of the youth sci-fi series has an almost unbearable catch for her.
Jennifer Lawrence sees herself as a “troll” in the Hunger Games
For Jennifer Lawrence, watching the Hunger Games movies again is both a blessing and a personal tour de force. A few years ago, in a BBC radio interview (at 4:35), the star revealed the problem:
I love the [Hunger Games]-Movies really – after I’ve seen them. But as I watch her all I can think about is what a troll and how untalented and terrible I am. […] I’m the worst on the whole franchise.

Most Critical Hunger Games Audience: Jennifer Lawrence & Josh Hutcherson
Co-star Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta in Panem’s sci-fi world, similarly sums it up in the same interview: “I am in love [die Tribute von Panem-Filme]I just hate that I’m them.”
Both Hunger Games stars present their assessments with a lot of humor, so we shouldn’t put too much weight on their self-ironic statements. At the same time, however, there is also a portion of truth, because it is not uncommon for acting stars reluctant to see themselves on screen (Adam Driver and John Malkovich, for example, are notorious screening refusers for precisely this reason).
That Jennifer Lawrence in the past den down to earth approach pursued, even in her filming, e.g. without makeup, “like a person in real life” Looking back also contributes to her having some embarrassing moments looking back on her roles. Fortunately, the Hunger Games critics and viewers saw it differently and praised Lawrence as phenomenal.
