What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Max Weiss

Baltimore Magazine

Kinetic, silly, candy-colored, and hyperviolent, Birds of Prey is a serious treat for fans of comic book films. But it wouldn't work without the equal parts goofy, hilarious, and unhinged performance of its lead.

Rated: 3/4

Christina Newland

Sight & Sound

Ultimately, the plot is as messy as its central character, trotting around with one shoe and a bacon sandwich in hand, but it's also a whole bunch of glittery, satisfying fun -- especially the unkempt, cheerful, chaotic energy of Harley Quinn.

Thrillist

Birds of Prey is a fruity cocktail of a movie. It goes down smooth, makes you giddy, and there's the possibility of a slight hangover.

Erica Richards

InSession Film

Birds of Prey is about a lot more than being a colorful, fun action film–and it is a lot of that, too. This story is themed around sisterhood, identity, and finding independence.

Ron S Margoe R is such a joy to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Ajames220 ok. movie. pretty entertaining 😄 Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/22 Full Review Cori One of the better DC films. Margot Robbie is amazing as Harley. Wished the villain was a little more menacing. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/22 Full Review Christopher I Harley Quinn is always fun on screen but people will forget this movie happened. Hopefully one day the DCEU can cleanly fit these films together. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/20/21 Full Review John G A lot better than a lot. Though it is dominated by women, it did not come off as a chick flick. Margot Robbie and Ewen McGregor were great. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/24/21 Full Review Maia W This movie was a fun watch! If there is an opportunity to have a part 2, I would watch.
