Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

Mind Over Mayhem

After her breakup with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins forces with singer Black Canary, assassin Huntress, and police detective Renee Montoya to help a young girl named Cassandra, who had a hit placed on her after she stole a rare diamond from crime lord Roman Sionis.

Review: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

Harnessing the proverb that it is ‘more fun being the bad guy’, Birds of Prey excels in its anti-hero spin on Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) with a delightful, psychotic energy. While it may struggle at times with pacing issues and fully recognising the potential of its cast and world, Cathy Yan’s film ultimately proves a successful romp that only extends DC’s recent hot streak.
