Jennifer Lawrence started her acting career in 2006 with some minor roles, but within a decade, made herself one of the biggest stars of the Hollywood industry with numerous awards and accolades in her hat. She was one of the Times’ 100 most influential people in the world list. Throughout her entire career, Lawrence has performed in several films from different genres, like action, and thriller. Her career has countless hits that have made her the youngest actress with a high profile.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015)
Mockingjay lived up to the hype the previous movies in the Hunger Games franchise had built. This action movie, released in 2015, was not only liked but appreciated by many, including the critics. It offered a brilliant performance by Lawrence as the protagonist.
Causeway (2022)
Causeway is an emotional story about a soldier, who suffers from a traumatic brain injury during war in Afghanistan. The soldier returns home to experience normal problems and shares grief with people with similar grief. Lawrence played the lead role with co-star Bryan Tyree Henry and their chemistry became wonderful.
X-Men: First Class (2011)
X-Men First Class was another movie from the X-Men franchise that Lawrence did. She takes on the role of the shapeshifter, who is blue and can transform herself into anybody. This was a difficult character in terms of costume and preparation and was played brilliantly by Lawrence, who took on this character and became one of the best characters from the X-Men series. She owned the alien sexuality which was the demand of the movie.
Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
Many would argue that Jennifer features in action, and thriller movies only, but Silver Linings Playbook negates this claim. Lawrence performs as the main lead in this rom-com, who is a widow, and helps a man understand his relationship and feelings towards his wife, and in doing so, falls in love with him. The film with its emotional dialogues was in itself iconic and Jennifer’s role as a protagonist won her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Winter’s Bone (2010)
It can easily be said that this movie was Lawrence’s big break in Hollywood and her iconic acting in this movie forced people to see the talents and the range that she portrayed. This was her first lead role in a film that she truly took over. This movie gave Lawrence her first nomination in the Academy Awards as the Best Actress.
American Hustle (2013)
In this black comedy, Lawrence explored her comical side and took over the challenge of performing the anger of the mismanaged wife of Christian Bale. The movie is all about the FBI using conmen to identify corrupt politicians. The humorous role of Lawrence was well portrayed by her, considering it isn’t the genre she works in.
