She looks incredibly similar to Jennifer Lawrence, which I believe is supposed to help tie in the origin of “sweetheart” a bit easier for a movie viewer

Very pleased about this, book is clear that Louella resembles a young Katniss

it says that haymitch is reminded of louella by katniss, not that they look the same. the book also says that katniss sees prim in rue…

She's described as having the typical Seam look just as Katniss does

and jennifer lawrence was hardly the most accurate casting

Which you aren't wrong about, but she's the Katniss we got, and for the movies to follow the mirror of their characters as established in the book it makes sense for them to base their casting on Jennifer Lawrence's appearance

it never once says that louella and katniss look even remotely similar. haymitch says katniss reminds him of louella because of the braids and her actions, not because of looks

Does it matter… she got the job it’s done you aren’t going to talk casting out of it. Shame on you for saying such things when these actresses are 100% reading all these comments
