Those last 45 minutes were INTENSE. The betrayal. The cruelty. Snow slips into becoming a tyrant as easily as putting on a glove. He’s full of red flags from the start that are nurtured by circumstance and hubris.
Oh my gosh!! The murders! He does it so casually! You know how bad Snow is from the original Hunger Games , but whoah…awful.
Graphic: Body horror, Child death, Death, Drug abuse, Gore, Gun violence, Violence, Blood, Death of parent, Murder, War, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
Minor: Cannibalism
