The film is a prequel to the Hunger Games trilogy, and is set 64 years before the events of the first film. It tells the story of Coriolanus Snow, the future president of Panem, as he mentors a young tribute from District 12 named Lucy Gray Baird in the 10th Hunger Games.
Blyth is particularly impressive as Snow, giving a complex and nuanced performance that shows the character's potential for both good and evil. Zegler is also excellent as Lucy Gray, a charismatic and talented young woman who is determined to survive the Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a well-made and entertaining film that provides a new perspective on the world of Panem. The film is beautifully shot and features strong performances from its cast.
