![]() ![]() Yes, we don’t see Helena working as a teacher, but that same, “I don’t want you going through what I did ,” spirit is there. For instance, both Huntress and Canary get moments where they’re checking on Cassandra and making sure she’s OK, as a nod to them both loving kids in the comics. ![]() Matt: The thing that stunned me is how they do fit little nods to the characters from the comics in, even if the details aren’t exact. ![]() I cannot wait to see what she does next – in both the DCEU and beyond. Sarah: Absolutely! All praise be to Margot Robbie. WB wanted a straight up Harley Quinn solo film but Robbie pushed to make it into a vehicle for other DC Comics’ heroines. Matt: And something a lot of people missed in this: Margot Robbie is the only reason this is a Birds of Prey movie. And now she’ll move off to some other corner of the DCEU – James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, first, I guess – and introduce us to other zany characters who will then get their own movies. Sarah: Also, I can understand those who wanted more of the Birds in Birds of Prey, but as Harley is the established character, it works so well for here to sort of dance through their lives and bring them together. I heard those complaints and I was like, “Harley is telling the story… and you’re surprised it’s confusing?” Harley’s the dictionary definition of an unreliable narrator. Plus, it then made the moment all our characters are finally together feel all that more satisfying. I know many have found that confusing, or that it hurts pacing – which maybe it does just a touch – but it was perfect for a movie that Harley is narrating. I really enjoyed the film’s approach and structure. I can recognize some complaints folks are having, but they didn’t stop me from enjoying every moment. Sarah: Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) – did you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between? You’ll find their thoughts on Birds of Prey, below. In lieu of a traditional movie review, Sarah and Matt also teamed up for a Hangout to discuss the film. Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) finds Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) teaming up with some of DC Comics‘ most badass ladies – Black Canary (Jurnee Smollet-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) – to kick the butts of Gotham crime boss, Black Mask (Ewan McGregor) and his henchman, Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina), in order to save the precious orphan and pickpocket, Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco). ![]()
