	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"The fun and games grow darker still (...) we benefit from the fact that the film has been given room to breathe, which allows for subtle character moments"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"It gets a little tedious after all these years," admits Katniss Everdeen (...). It's hard not to agree with her"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"The decision to split the final chapter of the dystopian saga into two chapters looms large over a frustratingly-paced mixture of thrilling action and surprisingly dark drama (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Lawrence shoots her last arrow and brings a snoozing film franchise back to life (...) The good news is that Mockingjay – Part 2, the big finale, has quit the ass-dragging in favor of what made the book a page-turner (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"What makes the material still feel personal (...) is the combination of Katniss and Ms. Lawrence, who have become a perfect fit."
		Helen O'Hara Empire	"['Mockingjay - Part 2'] ]is too faithful to the book, sometimes getting bogged down in detail (...) But its epic sweep, grand designs and unyielding central performance make this a compelling finale (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Smart, exciting and heartfelt One of the year's most satisfying popcorn movies"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"It has the best action sequences of all four chapters, though its revolutionary message gets bogged down by a meandering plot and some good old-fashioned overacting (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	Mockingjay - Part 2 is a grim, dark, trippy, violent and sometimes just plain bizarre journey, which makes for a fitting if uneven conclusion to a film series that's always been weird (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Mockingjay, though, strays too far into darkness (...) the movie feels less like teen entertainment than a sort of Hunger Games of Thrones"
		Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Katniss is a Joan of Arc for a generation of reluctant warriors, and 'Mockingjay - Part 2' is a war movie for those distrustful of any and all leaders, especially the ones trying to sell you on a future"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Mockingjay — Part 2 proves to be the most satisfying, gripping and emotional film in the franchise, resolving Katniss Everdeen’s odyssey with tense action sequences and a well-earned poignancy"
		Ben Sachs Chicago Reader	"This fourth and final installment of the Hunger Games franchise is by far the most dour, consisting mainly of dim, uninspired battle sequences"
