Our take on Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
Cathy Yan's 2020 action crime film cuts Harley Quinn loose from her old attachments and teams her with a singer, an assassin and a police detective to protect a young girl targeted for a hit after she steals a rare diamond from a crime lord. Told with a candy-colored, deliberately chaotic energy and narrated in Harley's unreliable, motor-mouthed voice, it's a scrappy, R-rated brawl built around female characters carving out their own space. It suits viewers who want irreverent, stylized comic-book action with a bruising sense of humor rather than solemn heroics. If the manic tone clicks, Birds of Prey is a fast, punchy ride; if not, it may feel scattered.
