With a fresh perspective, some new friends, and loads of fast-paced action, Birds of Prey captures the colorfully anarchic spirit of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn.

3/4
Kinetic, silly, candy-colored, and hyperviolent, Birds of Prey is a serious treat for fans of comic book films. But it wouldn't work without the equal parts goofy, hilarious, and unhinged performance of its lead. Go to Full Review
Christina Newland Sight & Sound 02/11/2021
Ultimately, the plot is as messy as its central character, trotting around with one shoe and a bacon sandwich in hand, but it's also a whole bunch of glittery, satisfying fun -- especially the unkempt, cheerful, chaotic energy of Harley Quinn. Go to Full Review

Birds of Prey is a fruity cocktail of a movie. It goes down smooth, makes you giddy, and there's the possibility of a slight hangover. Go to Full Review

Birds of Prey is a breath of fresh air in an already predictable landscape of superhero fare. This film is evidence that dark and distressing subject-matter can be dealt with in a poignant manner, and without it being too on-the-nose. Go to Full Review

4/5
Birds of Prey does not have, or aim for, the serious, pretentious tone of Joker; instead, it’s a punchy, frenetic romp that would be ideal for kids if it wasn’t so deliberately scuzzy... Go to Full Review

Yan’s contribution to the franchise is innovative, subversive and entertaining. Go to Full Review

Ron S 07/04/2023 Margoe R is such a joy to watch. See more Ajames220 07/03/2022 ok. movie. pretty entertaining 😄 See more Cori 05/31/2022 One of the better DC films. Margot Robbie is amazing as Harley. Wished the villain was a little more menacing. See more Christopher I 11/20/2021 Harley Quinn is always fun on screen but people will forget this movie happened. Hopefully one day the DCEU can cleanly fit these films together. See more John G 08/15/2021 A lot better than a lot. Though it is dominated by women, it did not come off as a chick flick. Margot Robbie and Ewen McGregor were great. See more Maia W 08/06/2021 This movie was a fun watch! If there is an opportunity to have a part 2, I would watch. See more Read all reviews
