Parents need to know that Red Sparrow is an overlong thriller starring The Hunger Games' Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian intelligence officer who seduces enemies of the state. This one definitely isn't for kids or young teens: It's full of graphic, bloody violence, including attempted rape, killing, gruesome dead bodies, fighting and beating, and disturbing torture scenes. Sexual content is also mature, with graphic sex scenes, topless women, and full-frontal male nudity, as well as lots of sex talk and innuendo. Language isn't frequent but is quite strong, with uses of "f--k," "s--t," "p---y," and more. Most of the characters smoke and drink socially, and one is shown staggeringly drunk.
