	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"While this Part 1 is light on old-fashioned adventure it does offer up a tough - and at times moving - transition for its lead character."	POS
United Kingdom	Henry Barnes The Guardian	"The special effects are limp and the script a little creaky, although somehow it still manages to thrill. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"The series' two-part finale gets under way in solid, absorbing if not exactly inspired fashion."	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The first half of the final 'Hunger Games' installment is disappointingly bland and unnecessarily protracted."	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It's the movie equivalent of a page-turner, consistently suspenseful and filled with surprises and illuminating character moments."	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"[It] is any number of good things: intense, stylish, topical, well-acted. But the one thing it could never be called is satisfying. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"As an adaptation of part of the third book by Suzanne Collins, it's easily the most political of the three films. It's also the most absorbing and best in the series (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"'Mockingjay' is a rare bird in its genre, an action adventure with an interesting mind and a resonant spirit"	POS
