  Review by demi adejuyigbe ★★★★½ 74

  margot robbie has a scene where she skates to "barracuda" by heart, just like she did in i, tonya. 10/10 best picture

  I just wrote & deleted a bunch of stuff about the superficial elements of BOP that I liked because there's one thing about this movie that struck me in particular and I don't want to write a literary thesis about any movie that has a slow, dramatic cover of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" on the soundtrack. Real quick I'll say: McGregor delivers my favorite villain performance. Smollet-Bell & Winstead are terrific. Movie is beautiful, fun, choreography rules, the humor really worked for me, almost gets too Deadpool-y but bounces back, it's easily my favorite DC film since The…

  ???
  Birds of Prey ends with 20 minutes of colorful and flawlessly choreographed action. It says “fuck you” to traditional comic book endings and leaves you feeling like you actually did see a movie take that style in a fun and unique direction. Unfortunately almost everything before those last 20 minutes is a typical messy and heartless superhero film covered in glitter and empty eccentricity. The highs of this make me excited for another Harley Quinn film (if that happens) the lows had me questioning if anybody out there really likes this character. Cool fact: the person in front of me threw up halfway through the film.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  i think we can all agree that harley in that blue blazer driving off into the sunset eating the perfect egg sandwich with woman by kesha playing in the background is one of cinema’s finest endings

  Was so pleasantly surprised by this one because I though the trailer was pretty bad. But it ended up being fun as hell. As I've written many times, I really only enjoy the comic book films that have adult humor (such as Deadpool) or incredible action (such as Winter Soldier) or eye-candy style (such as Joker) and this film has all three. And nobody is talking about how brutal it is. This film is way more violent than The Joker yet I never heard one mention of it.

  I knew Cathy Yan would be perfect for this after seeing her debut Dead Pigs a couple of years ago. She must have kaleidoscope eyes. Very cool. And nothing beats McGregor saying "You think you can beat me? You're a fucking moron!"

  Due to lack of time, I can't add much to these logs for now. :(
  Maybe in the future.

  Watched on the big screen at AMC Century City 15

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 30

  taking a month off work to take care of my son (New York Paid Family Leave: Hey, At Least it's Something!™"), and finally decided to watch this because he had a blowout 2 minutes in to PAPER MOON and that sorta ruined the moon so i needed to call an audible (if you don't know what a "blowout" is, imagine the baby equivalent of SUICIDE SQUAD; it's wet, it's awful, and it stains everything it touches). anyway, BIRDS OF PREY slaps much harder than expected. also, there's a Kesha needle drop. and it owns. it's like i've always said: Gotham needs more Kesha. And the movies need less "Black Betty." Much less. From here on out, "none Black Betty" is…

  Review by matt lynch ★★★ 13

  Intermittently very clever and frequently very funny, punctuated with a lot of sturdy action choreography and sharp editing (courtesy Chad Stahelski, I'm led to believe). The flashback structure kills a ton of momentum though, and this meanders a lot until the characters finally team up (it helps that all of the actresses are a lot of fun to watch). Personally I'd have liked it if Harley Quinn seemed a bit more vicious and scary, but that's not the movie they're selling here. MVP Ewan McKraken.
