Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), also known as Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey[6][7] or simply Birds of Prey, is a 2020 American superhero film based on the DC Comics team, the Birds of Prey. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Films, LuckyChap Entertainment, Clubhouse Pictures, and Kroll & Co. Entertainment, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the eighth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), and serves as a spin-off and sequel to Suicide Squad (2016). It was directed by Cathy Yan and written by Christina Hodson, and stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Chris Messina, Ella Jay Basco, Ali Wong, and Ewan McGregor. The film follows Harley Quinn, who, after breaking up with the Joker, is threatened by Gotham City crime lord Roman Sionis, and joins forces with Helena Bertinelli, Dinah Lance and Renee Montoya (who go on to form the Birds of Prey) to save Cassandra Cain.

Robbie, who also served as producer, pitched the idea for Birds of Prey to Warner Bros. in 2015. The film was announced in May 2016, with Hodson being hired to write the script that November, followed by Yan signing on to direct in April 2018. The majority of the cast and crew were confirmed by December 2018. Principal photography lasted from January to April 2019 in Downtown Los Angeles, parts of the Los Angeles Arts District, and soundstages at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. Additional filming took place in September 2019.

Birds of Prey was the first DCEU film and the second DC Films production to be rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America, following Joker (2019). The film had its world premiere in Mexico City on January 25, 2020, and was released in the United States in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, ScreenX and 4DX on February 7, 2020. It grossed $205.3 million worldwide, falling short of its widely reported break-even point of $250–300 million.[3][8][9] The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised its fast-paced action and Robbie's performance as Quinn. A spin-off focused on Smollett-Bell's character is in development.

Plot

Four years after the defeat of the Enchantress,[a] the Joker breaks up with Harley Quinn, throwing her out on the Gotham City streets. She is taken in by Doc, the owner of a Taiwanese restaurant, and recovers from her relationship by cutting her hair, adopting a spotted hyena (whom she names after Bruce Wayne), and taking up roller derby.

Harley gets drunk at a nightclub owned by Roman Sionis, a ruthless crime lord, and cripples his driver after he insults her. She meets burlesque singer Dinah Lance, who later rescues an intoxicated Harley from an attempted abduction. Sionis is impressed by Dinah's fighting skills and appoints her as his new driver. The next night, Harley gets drunk again, and overhearing some of her drinking buddies debating over whether she's actually broken up with the Joker, blows up the Ace Chemicals plant as a way to publicly announce her breakup with the Joker. Meanwhile, GCPD Detective Renee Montoya investigates a series of mob killings carried out by a crossbow-wielding vigilante. Finding Harley's necklace at the scene of the Ace Chemicals explosion, Montoya notes that Harley is in danger without the Joker's protection. She tries to recruit Dinah as an informant, but Dinah rejects the offer, since she is upset with the GCPD for not being there to prevent her mother's death.

Sionis sends Dinah and his sadistic right-hand-man Victor Zsasz to retrieve a diamond embedded with the account numbers to the fortune of the Bertinelli crime family, who were massacred years ago. Young pickpocket Cassandra "Cass" Cain steals the diamond from Zsasz and swallows it after she is arrested. Harley, fleeing from Montoya and several other people she had wronged, is captured by Sionis' men. Zsasz informs Sionis that Cassandra has the diamond, and Dinah warns Montoya. Sionis kidnaps and makes Harley recover the diamond for him, under the threat of death, and also places a bounty on Cassandra. Breaking into the GCPD with a grenade gun (the Fun Gun) filled with paint and sparkle bullets, Harley frees Cassandra and the pair escape.

After escaping, Harley and Cassandra bond while hiding out at the former's apartment. Doc is approached for information by the "crossbow killer", who is revealed to be Helena Bertinelli. Having survived her family's massacre and becoming trained as an assassin, Helena has been targeting each of the gangsters responsible for her family's murders, preferring the moniker "Huntress". Harley's apartment is later bombed by criminals looking for Cassandra, and Doc sorrowfully reveals that he sold Harley out. Harley calls Sionis and offers to turn Cassandra over in exchange for his protection, agreeing to meet at an abandoned amusement park. Dinah notifies Montoya of the rendezvous, but her betrayal is noticed by Zsasz, who informs Sionis. A devastated Sionis dons his ritualistic mask from which he gets his nickname, "Black Mask".

At the park, Montoya confronts Harley, but Harley kicks her out of a window in revenge; Montoya having made Harley drop her sandwich. Zsasz arrives and tranquilizes Harley before holding Dinah at gunpoint, but he is killed by Helena, who reveals Zsasz was the last of her family's killers. Montoya returns and reveals that Sionis was the true mastermind behind Helena's family's massacre and he had them killed trying to get the diamond. A stand-off ensues until they realize Sionis has arrived with a small army of masked criminals. Using Harley's old gear, the makeshift team successfully withstand and repel their attack. During the battle, Cassandra is captured by Sionis, while Dinah reveals her metahuman ability of supersonic-level screaming, defeating several of Sionis' mobsters. Harley gives chase on roller skates, and with assistance from Helena, the pair pursue Sionis. At a nearby pier, the final confrontation occurs. Sionis prepares to kill Cassandra, but she pulls the ring from a grenade that she slipped in his jacket after taking it from Harley's weapons chest earlier. Harley throws Sionis off the pier just before the grenade detonates, exploding and killing him.

In the aftermath of destroying Sionis' criminal empire, Montoya quits the GCPD. Using the money within the accounts hidden inside the diamond (which had been recovered from Cassandra), Helena joins with Dinah and Montoya in establishing a team of vigilantes called the Birds of Prey. Harley and Cassandra escape, selling the diamond itself to a pawn shop and starting their own business.

Additionally, Steven Williams portrays Captain Patrick Erickson, Montoya's superior at the GCPD; Dana Lee portrays Doc, Quinn's friend who owns a Taiwanese restaurant; François Chau portrays Mr. Keo, a rival crime boss of Sionis; Derek Wilson portrays Tim Munroe, a GCPD detective; Matt Willig portrays Happy, previously a henchman who worked for the Joker and Stefano Galante and whose face was tattooed by Quinn and the Joker; and Bojana Novakovic portrays Erika, a night club patron who is the victim of sexual violence[31][32] by Sionis. Charlene Amoia and Paul Lasa respectively portray Maria and Franco Bertinelli, the mother and father of Helena; Robert Catrini portrays Stefano Galante, the mob boss who killed the Bertinelli family;[15][33] Daniel Bernhardt portrays Sionis' chauffeur in the beginning of the movie.

The Joker appears in the film through animated special effects during a flashback sequence, and the combined use of an archived back shot of Jared Leto from Suicide Squad and rock musician Johnny Goth doubling for Leto in a brief flashback sequence. These techniques were used because Leto was not available during filming.[34] A still photograph of Jai Courtney as George "Digger" Harkness / Captain Boomerang also appears on a wall in the Gotham City Police Department.[35]

Production

Development

In May 2016, ahead of the release of Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. Pictures announced a spin-off film focusing on Harley Quinn and several other female DC Comics heroes and villains, such as Batgirl and the Birds of Prey. Margot Robbie was attached to reprise her role as Harley Quinn and would also serve as producer.[10][36] British screenwriter Christina Hodson was announced to be writing the film in November.[37] Robbie had pitched the film to Warner Bros. in 2015 as "an R-rated girl gang film including Harley because I was like, 'Harley needs friends.' Harley loves interacting with people, so don't ever make her do a standalone film." Robbie felt it was important for the film to have a female director. While Warner Bros. and DC Films had various other Harley Quinn-oriented films in development, Birds of Prey was the only one in whose development Robbie was directly involved.[38]

Robbie spent three years working on Birds of Prey and continued to present it to Warner Bros. until the studio felt the project was at the point it could be made.[38] By April 2018, Warner Bros. and DC Films had finalized a deal with Cathy Yan to direct, making her the first female Asian director to direct a superhero film.[39] Yan pitched for the job as "wanting to smash the patriarchy."[40] Robbie was confirmed to be producing the film under her LuckyChap Entertainment banner as part of a first-look deal with the studio; Sue Kroll and Bryan Unkless were also announced to serve as producers through their companies Kroll & Co. Entertainment and Clubhouse Pictures, respectively. Production was scheduled to begin by late 2018 or early 2019.[41] The Penguin was intended to appear in the script at one point but was dropped to preserve his appearance in The Batman.[42] Barbara Gordon / Batgirl, a founding member of the team in the comics, was removed from Birds of Prey due to her planned standalone film, which Christina Hodson also wrote.[43]

Pre-production

 
Margot Robbie in 2019

By July 2018, the film was entering pre-production.[44] Robbie confirmed the film would be titled Birds of Prey, describing it as "different" from the other DC films featuring Harley Quinn, and said it would be produced on a relatively small budget compared to other superhero films.[45][46] She also stated Harley Quinn would receive a new costume and teased the casting of diverse actors.[47] The line-up for the Birds of Prey team was revealed to include Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain, and Renee Montoya, with the villain set to be a Batman adversary who had not yet been seen in the films.[23] Casting began in August,[48] with Warner Bros. considering several actresses for Huntress and Black Canary. Alexandra Daddario, Jodie Comer, Blake Lively, and Vanessa Kirby expressed interest.[49][50] In August, Roman Sionis / Black Mask was revealed to be the film's antagonist.[51] Janelle Monáe, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell were under consideration for Black Canary by September, while Sofia Boutella, Margaret Qualley, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Cristin Milioti were being considered to play Huntress.[52] Justina Machado and Roberta Colindrez tested for Renee Montoya, while Warner Bros. began seeking a 12-year-old Asian actress to play Cassandra Cain.[53]

In late September, Smollett-Bell and Winstead were respectively cast as Black Canary and Huntress,[13] Warner Bros. scheduled a February 7, 2020, release date,[54] and Ewan McGregor and Sharlto Copley were under consideration for the role of Black Mask.[55] During the U.S.-China Entertainment Summit in October, Yan confirmed the cast and that the film would be R-rated. She said, "[I] could not put the script down, it had so much dark humor to it, which a lot of my work does, and there are themes of female empowerment which are so strong and relatable."[56] Cinematographer Matthew Libatique joined the film that month,[57] as did Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya.[24] Stunt coordinator Jonathan Eusebio and fight coordinator Jon Valera joined in November,[58] and McGregor as Black Mask[28] and Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain.[26] Robbie revealed the full title,[59] and said the subtitle reflects the film's humorous tone.[60] Production designer K. K. Barrett joined in December,[61] as did Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz.[25] Steven Williams, Derek Wilson, Dana Lee, François Chau, Matthew Willig, Robert Catrini, and Ali Wong were also cast.[25][27]

Filming

Principal photography began in Los Angeles, California, in January 2019 under the working title Fox Force Five, a reference to a fictional TV show of the same name mentioned in Pulp Fiction.[62][63][64] Although filming had been expected to also take place in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia,[65] the entire shoot took place in Los Angeles after the production received a tax credit from California.[66][44] Filming was expected to be completed by mid-April 2019.[67] In February, Charlene Amoia joined the cast.[15] Filming wrapped on April 15, 2019.[68]

Post-production

Jay Cassidy and Evan Schiff served as editors, while Method Studios, Weta Digital, Luma Pictures, Image Engine, and Crafty Apes provided the visual effects for the film.[69][70][71][72] In August 2019, Chad Stahelski served as a second unit director for reshoots, his company 87eleven having been already involved in developing the action scenes.[73] Photography for the additional footage began on September 3, 2019.[74][75]

Costume concept artist Greg Hopwood released an exclusive look at Costume production art at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2019.[76]

Talking about the post-production process, Cathy Yan indicated that she "would have loved to have more control over the edit, but that’s just kind of how it is. I don’t know if there’s a Cathy Yan cut out there, but I think for any filmmaker, all of us are in it because we want to express ourselves as wholly as possible. And to match what you ultimately see on screen with what’s in our head".[77]

Music

In September 2019, Daniel Pemberton was announced to serve as the composer for the film's score.[78] The Original Motion Picture Score album was released by WaterTower Music on February 14, 2020.[79]

A soundtrack album for the film, titled Birds of Prey: The Album, was announced in January 2020 and was released on February 7 by Atlantic Records to coincide with the film's release. To promote the album, a single was released every Friday before the film's release.[80] "Diamonds" by Megan Thee Stallion and Normani was released on January 10,[81] "Joke's On You" by Charlotte Lawrence was released on January 17,[82] "Boss Bitch" by Doja Cat was released on January 24. In June 2020, the song was listed as the 27th best song of 2020 so far by Billboard.[83] In December of that same year, NME named it the 12th best song of 2020.[84] "Sway with Me" by Saweetie and GALXARA was released on January 31[85] and "Experiment on Me" by Halsey, was released the same day as the album.[86] A solo version of "Sway with Me" by GALXARA was released as a standalone single on May 1, 2020.[87]

The movie also includes songs that are not featured on the album, such as Spiderbait's "Black Betty", which plays during the fight scene at the police impound, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "I Hate Myself For Loving You", which plays during the montage of Harley trying to move on from the Joker, Heart's "Barracuda", which plays for the first part of the fight sequence inside the Booby Trap, and Kesha's "Woman", which plays during the final scene. The film also features a rendition of Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend", performed by Robbie in a reimagining of Marilyn's performance of the song in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.[88][89]

Marketing

Marketing began on January 21, 2019, when a first-look production video of the characters and costumes titled "See You Soon" was released by Warner Bros. via YouTube.[90] DC Comics published a promotional trade paperback anthology featuring stories based on the film on November 12, 2019.[91] The first teaser debuted exclusively in theatres on September 5, 2019, in front of screenings for It: Chapter Two; it begins with a shot of a red balloon, deceiving viewers into thinking said film had started, before Quinn walks into the scene and declared that she is "so fucking over clowns" before popping the balloon by smashing it with her mallet, in a collective reference to It / Pennywise the Dancing Clown and the Joker.[92]

A short teaser was released on the film's social media pages, announcing the first official trailer would be released on October 1, 2019. A series of posters, which also announced the trailer debut, was released the same day.[93] On December 5, 2019, Birds of Prey held a panel at the annual CCXP in Brazil, showing the first five minutes of the film, and the second official trailer, which was released online on January 9, 2020.

A three-day pop-up event named Harleywood was also organized at the Hollywood and Highland Center with the presence of the cast on the launch day. Artists who contributed to the soundtrack were also present to promote it, with Charlotte Lawrence and Doja Cat performing.[94]

Release

Warner Bros. Pictures theatrically released Birds of Prey in the United States on February 7, 2020, in standard, IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and ScreenX formats.[54][95][96] The film had its world premiere on January 25, 2020, at the Proyecto Publico Prim in Mexico City.[97] It also screened at the BFI IMAX in London on January 29 and at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes on January 30, during a special event named Le Festival de Quinn (The Quinn Festival) in reference to the Cannes Film Festival.[98][99] On February 10, 2020, it was reported that the film was being displayed under the title Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey on the websites for AMC Theatres, Cinemark Theatres, and Regal Cinemas.[6][7] According to Screen Rant, the name change was mandated by Warner Bros.[6][100] However, TheWrap subsequently reported that "an individual with knowledge at the studio" denied that Warner Bros. had revised the title and quoted Atom Tickets' Alisha Grauso's explanation that the new listing was "apparently for display/search purposes only for vendors and theaters, not an official title change."[101]

Home media

On March 19, Warner Bros. Pictures announced the film would be available digitally in the United States and Canada through Premium VOD on March 24 due to movie theaters closures because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. This was just over one month after the film's theatrical debut and before the end of the usual 90-day theatrical run.[102] Another film distributed by the studio, The Way Back, was also released earlier than expected for the same reason.[103] In the United Kingdom, it was released digitally and on video on demand on April 24, 2020.[104] The Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, and DVD were released in North America on May 12, 2020.[105][106] The film debuted on HBO Max on August 15, 2020. Sometime in November 2021, HBO Max accidentally replaced Birds of Prey with a modified censored version.[107]

As of April 1, 2021, Birds of Prey has earned $30.6 million in total domestic video sales.[108]

Reception

Box office

Birds of Prey grossed $84.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $120.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $205.3 million.[4][5] According to Variety, the film needed to gross $250–300 million worldwide to break even.[3]

In the United States and Canada, Birds of Prey was initially projected to gross $50–55 million from 4,236 theaters in its opening weekend.[109] However, after making $13 million on its first day, including $4 million from Thursday night previews, estimates were lowered, and it went on to debut at $33 million. The film finished first at the box office but marked the lowest opening for a DC film since Jonah Hex in 2010 ($5.3 million) and was 75% smaller than Suicide Squad's $133.4 million openings in 2016. The low start was blamed on the possible lack of demand for a solo film surrounding the character of Harley Quinn, as well as the confusing title and the R rating limiting the appeal and demographics for ticket sales.[110] In its second weekend, the film fell 48% to $17.1 million, finishing second, behind Sonic the Hedgehog, and then made $7 million in its third, dropping another 59%.[111][112][113]

The film was expected to debut to $60–70 million from 76 countries in other territories, for a worldwide total of $110–125 million.[109] It made $7.8 million after two days of overseas release in 51 countries and $18.1 million from the full 76 after three. The film went on to make $46 million from international play in its opening weekend and $79 million worldwide. Its highest-grossing territories were Mexico ($4.6 million), Russia ($4 million), the United Kingdom ($3.9 million), Brazil ($2.8 million) and France ($2.7 million). The low opening was blamed on similar audience hesitation as in the United States and the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia closing some theaters.[114]

Yan acknowledged the film's unsatisfactory box office performance and reflected, "There were also [undue] expectations on a female-led movie, and what I was most disappointed in was this idea that perhaps it proved that we weren't ready for this yet. That was an extra burden that, as a woman-of-color director, I already had on me anyway. So, yes, I think there were certainly different ways you could interpret the success or lack of success of the movie, and everyone has a right to do that. But, I definitely do feel that everyone was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle."[115]

Critical response

Birds of Prey garnered generally positive reviews from critics.[116][117][118] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 79% based on 432 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "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."[119] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100, based on 59 critic reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[120] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, and PostTrak reported it received an average of 3.5 out of 5 stars, with 61% of people surveyed saying they would definitely recommend it.[110][111]

Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars and said that "Robbie 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."[121] Joe Morgenstern, writing for The Wall Street Journal, stated, "Much 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."[122] Matthew Monagle of The Austin Chronicle gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said that "Yan and Robbie lean into both sides of Quinn’s personality throughout the film. This allows Birds of Prey to earn every bit of its R-rating while still feeling like a Looney Tunes cartoon."[123] The Arizona Republic's Nicole Ludden praised Yan's direction, saying that it "carries a visually distinct style throughout the film that makes the layering of several chaotic scenes feel cohesive."[124]

John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "action-packed, but more rule-following than its bonkers protagonist," and wrote, "Yan finds plenty of opportunities for exciting set pieces: Extravagant action choreography makes the most of colorful set design, unlikely gimmicks and wrasslin'-style brutality. But Hodson's script offers far less diverting banter than it might've between the fight scenes."[125] Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman said the film was "thin but lively" and praised the performance of Robbie, as well as Yan's direction, although noted the script as having "attitude to spare, but in a rather bare-bones way."[126] Calling it "DC's first good action movie", Joshua Rivera of The Verge offered a mixed review while praising the film's relation to breakups, writing, "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."[127]

In a scathing review, Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote "Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is more than horrible. It should not exist. Money should never have been raised for it. The screenplay should never have been filmed. Margot Robbie shouldn't have produced it. She certainly shouldn't have starred in it."[128]

Future

Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn returned in The Suicide Squad (2021).[153][154] In April 2020, Cathy Yan said that she would be interested in directing a sequel that would explore Harley Quinn's relationship with Poison Ivy.[155][156] In February 2021, Robbie discussed working on another project featuring Quinn with The Suicide Squad director James Gunn,[157] and both she and Leslie Grace expressed interest in a crossover between Quinn and Barbara Gordon / Batgirl, whom Grace was originally set to play in the 2022 unreleased film Batgirl and is a prominent Birds of Prey member in the comics.[158][159] Gunn indicated in September 2022 to be involved in a future project involving Robbie's Quinn.[160]

In August 20, 2021, Cinelinx reported that a Black Canary solo spin-off film was in development with Smollett returning as Lance and Misha Green will write the film for HBO Max.[161][162] Set photos reveal that visual references to the character was set to be made in the 2022 film Batgirl, before its cancellation.[163]

smaller than Suicide Squad s 133 4 million openings in 2016 The low start was blamed on the possible lack of demand for a solo film surrounding the character of Harley Quinn as well as the confusing title and the R rating limiting the appeal and demographics for ticket sales 110 In its second weekend the film fell 48 to 17 1 million finishing second behind Sonic the Hedgehog and then made 7 million in its third dropping another 59 111 112 113 The film was expected to debut to 60 70 million from 76 countries in other territories for a worldwide total of 110 125 million 109 It made 7 8 million after two days of overseas release in 51 countries and 18 1 million from the full 76 after three The film went on to make 46 million from international play in its opening weekend and 79 million worldwide Its highest grossing territories were Mexico 4 6 million Russia 4 million the United Kingdom 3 9 million Brazil 2 8 million and France 2 7 million The low opening was blamed on similar audience hesitation as in the United States and the COVID 19 pandemic in Asia closing some theaters 114 Yan acknowledged the film s unsatisfactory box office performance and reflected There were also undue expectations on a female led movie and what I was most disappointed in was this idea that perhaps it proved that we weren t ready for this yet That was an extra burden that as a woman of color director I already had on me anyway So yes I think there were certainly different ways you could interpret the success or lack of success of the movie and everyone has a right to do that But I definitely do feel that everyone was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle 115 Critical response Edit Birds of Prey garnered generally positive reviews from critics 116 117 118 On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds an approval rating of 79 based on 432 reviews with an average rating of 6 8 10 The website s critics consensus reads 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 119 On Metacritic it has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100 based on 59 critic reviews indicating mixed or average reviews 120 Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of B on an A to F scale and PostTrak reported it received an average of 3 5 out of 5 stars with 61 of people surveyed saying they would definitely recommend it 110 111 Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun Times gave the film 3 5 out of 4 stars and said that Robbie 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 121 Joe Morgenstern writing for The Wall Street Journal stated Much 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 122 Matthew Monagle of The Austin Chronicle gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said that Yan and Robbie lean into both sides of Quinn s personality throughout the film This allows Birds of Prey to earn every bit of its R rating while still feeling like a Looney Tunes cartoon 123 The Arizona Republic s Nicole Ludden praised Yan s direction saying that it carries a visually distinct style throughout the film that makes the layering of several chaotic scenes feel cohesive 124 John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter called the film action packed but more rule following than its bonkers protagonist and wrote Yan finds plenty of opportunities for exciting set pieces Extravagant action choreography makes the most of colorful set design unlikely gimmicks and wrasslin style brutality But Hodson s script offers far less diverting banter than it might ve between the fight scenes 125 Writing for Variety Owen Gleiberman said the film was thin but lively and praised the performance of Robbie as well as Yan s direction although noted the script as having attitude to spare but in a rather bare bones way 126 Calling it DC s first good action movie Joshua Rivera of The Verge offered a mixed review while praising the film s relation to breakups writing 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 127 In a scathing review Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote Birds of Prey And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is more than horrible It should not exist Money should never have been raised for it The screenplay should never have been filmed Margot Robbie shouldn t have produced it She certainly shouldn t have starred in it 128 Accolades Edit Award Date of ceremony Category Recipient Result Ref Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Awards July 2 2020 Best Picture Nominated 129 130 Best Actress Margot Robbie
