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

"It is weirdly diverting – more than you might expect (...) Watching it feels cheerfully excessive and unwholesome, like smoking a cigarette and eating a chocolate bar at the same time (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Not that it is completely uncool or completely un-fun. [It] is certainly more coherent than 'Suicide Squad' (...) However popular the film becomes, though, I doubt that anyone will adore it as much as it evidently adores itself (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"It's a DC Comics movie! There's a hyena named after Batman in it! The movie stars women and is uproariously fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"It’s messy, with a middle section that sags, but Birds Of Prey has vibrancy, anarchy and balls to spare. Harley and Joker are dead. Long live Harley Quinn (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] gets right what DC’s earlier baddie team-up got so wrong (…) Like Harley herself, the film has done well to leave its dark past (and the Joker) behind – and already the future is looking a lot brighter (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Robbie's naughty, candy-coated romp beats toxic masculinity to a pulp (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Yan keeps it all hurtling along with impeccable ferocity. Her action scenes have a deftly detonating visual spaciousness, capped by crowd-pleasing moments"
