Her portrayal of Maddy is layered, nuanced, broad and subtle, and most importantly, she fully embraces and embraces the character — and no scene encapsulates that more than when Maddy and Maddy are in the middle of the film. Percy decides to go skinny-dipping at midnight. We’ve seen scenes like this before – two characters get into trouble and some drunk kid steals their clothes.
As pictured, the aftermath was horrific, with Lawrence dashing out of the sea in her birthday suit and proceeding to beat up three children who had the audacity to ruin her day. It was this display of fearlessness and no ego that made her a star. There will be more of these in the future.
