Leave your thoughts about Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).
| Austin ChronicleMatthew MonagleEven if Birds of Prey doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it sure as hells gets it spinning. Those who wish their superhero movies had a little bit more Lisa Frank and a whole bunch more female gaze may find themselves falling in love with Harley Quinn all over again. |
| PolygonSusana PoloBirds of Prey is a messy, leg-breaking, heartwarming, inspirational good time. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperRobbie turns in a much richer and funnier and layered performance as Harley this time around, thanks in large part to the stiletto-sharp screenplay by Christina Hodson. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternMuch of this R-rated movie is chaotic, yet it’s a richly hued, madly inventive, gleefully violent and happily slapdash contraption with a formidable female at its center. |
| Screen RantMolly FreemanWith a wicked sense of humor and exhilarating action, Birds of Prey is fierce, fun and a total blast - and an empowering girl power superhero romp. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonIt’s a freeing movie, not without its flaws and missteps, but wonderfully alive with all the looseness of new possibility. |
| The VergeJoshua RiveraAnything can happen, and Birds of Prey relishes in the havoc that implies. That manic energy is all that’s holding Birds of Prey together at times, and the fact that all of its characters seem to thrive in it makes it all the more disappointing that the movie doesn’t really take any time to get to know them better. It’s almost enough to derail the movie, but at a brisk hour and 47 minutes of genuinely fun spectacle, it’s hard to hold too much against it. |
| The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckUltimately it all rides on Robbie, who, along with her blond, color-dipped pigtails, brings an appealing blend of looniness and grit to the role, and a hint of something sadder and darker. Still, one gets the sense the filmmakers weren’t quite sure how far to go with the feminism thing. When she says sadly that “a harlequin’s nothing without a master,” you don’t immediately get the sense that this is a post #MeToo Harley Quinn. |
| Chicago TribuneKatie WalshChristina Hodson’s script is a madcap, irreverent roller coaster ride, the story relayed in a loopy, looping, nonlinear fashion through Harley’s hyperactive storytelling style. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiBirds of Prey moves at a breakneck pace with a dry, totally unsentimental sense of humor, and it never gets caught up in cliched morals or weighty lessons. |
