Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
dir. Cathy Yan (2020)
Colourful, anarchic, rebellious and empowered, ‘Birds of Prey’ proves a real step-up from most DC superhero films. The action scenes are entertaining (rather than belaboured), Yan’s direction is punchy, and writer Christina Hodson turns in a screenplay befitting of Harley Quinn’s character.
