Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)

 

After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.

This spin-off to Suicide Squad is a far superior movie and does everything right which the previous didn't manage to do: its humorous, its action is exciting and Margot Robbie is even more convincing as Harley Quinn (and obviously enjoying the role), accompanied by a strong cast of female companions.

 

Suicide Squad (2016)

 

A secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.

Highly disappointing superhero drama with a sparkling set of big-name stars never really takes off with its thin plot and underdeveloped characters; alone Margot Robbie gives her Harley Quinn some panache and delivers most of the excitement and humor of the whole show.

 

Margot Robbie

 

Bombshell (2019)

 

A group of women take on Fox News head Roger Alies and the toxic atmosphere he presided over at the network. 

A top cast drama based on the actual events and depicting an important topic gives its stars lots of room to display their talent, but the events are unnecessarily toned down, probably to avoid legal liability, so that its message doesn't have the full impact it deserves.
