Dominika, played by Jennifer Lawrence, lives her life as about as Russian a cliche as you can have in the movies. When she’s not spending her time caring for her sick mother in their tiny apartment, she’s the lead ballet dancer in the Bolshoi Ballet company. Surrounded by opulence and leering Russian oligarchs at night, the cityscapes and crammed living screams “we still wait in line for bread” during the day. It may be shocking to learn that things don’t get less predictable from there.
