People are saying 'girl power' killed Birds of Prey
follows Harley Quinn after she breaks up with Jared Leto’s Joker. She goes through all the stereotypical breakup motions: she cuts her hair, she eats a lot of ice cream, and she adopts an admittedly unconventional pet. Amid hanging with hyenas in bathtubs, though, Harley lands on the wrong side of Black Mask , a misogynistic gangster.
Cue Harley enlisting the help of Dinah Lance/Black Canary and Helena Bertinelli/Huntress , as they join forces to help protect a young woman in danger. And, y’know, partake in some high-octane rollerskating sequences. Suffice to say, the film has gone down a treat with critics, scoring mostly positive reviews across the board – not to mention a very respectable 80% ‘fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s been praised for its wit, extravagance and delightfully violent action scenes. It opened at the top of the box office charts. And Robbie’s performance has been singled out by critics once again for her all-too-believable degrees of menace.
