I hadn't read the books but had no trouble following the story line. Jennifer Lawrence, who was so good in Winter's Bone, does a great job here. The allegory and classic myth underlying the story gives this another level. Camera work was excellent and the film makers provides the minimum of gore which is a nice change for Hollywood. The sets and costumes are great. The film stands alone but sets up the sequel by making us want more of these characters and hinting at bigger things to come.
