– Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm, Directing her first studio feature, Cathy Yan keeps it all hurtling along with impeccable ferocity. It’s a remake of the 2014 Swedish film Force Majeure, brought to you by writer-directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash (who together won a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for The Descendants back in 2011), and it stars comedy powerhouses Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. K.J. Available now on: FandangoNOW, Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu. – Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly, Yan’s stylish direction and keen sense of comedic timing keep things lively even when the story starts to strain under the weight of so many competing storylines. – Molly Freeman, ScreenRant, Slight at best, convoluted at worst, but Birds of Prey rips through its hardboiled neo-noir story with such gleeful abandon that you barely notice the tired Macguffin narrative. – James Whitbrook, io9, It’s the perfect spiritual successor to Joker in terms of the current state of the DCEU. That makes Birds of Prey the third highest-ranking DCEU movie on Rotten Tomatoes, trailing behind Wonder Woman’s 93% and Shazam’s 90%. – Laura Prudom, IGN, Huntress is the least developed of all the lead characters… but in her few appearances, Winstead steals the show. – John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter. If any of the plot feels familiar, that’s probably because it’s the kind of baseline revenge thriller narrative we’ve seen play out in countless other films, and critics didn’t feel that Bloodshot had quite enough to set it apart from the others. Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), Best Horror Movies of 2020, Ranked – New Scary Movies to Watch. – Kate Erbland, IndieWire, The scene-stealer is Black Canary… Smollett-Bell gives her character fire and a voice, literally, that has power. – Kirsten Acuna, Insider, The movie would have been so much better had it simplified its story by half. – Laura Prudom, IGN, The movie’s fight scenes are like highlight reels in themselves, mashing together visual artistry with bone-crunching savagery. – Kirsten Acuna, Insider, Birds of Prey left me wanting [a sequel], which is about the most anyone can hope for in a big-screen comics adaptation. The last time we got a major wide release in movie theaters was two weeks ago, when we had three, and one of them was this superhero movie starring Vin Diesel. Here's what the Rotten Tomatoes reviews are saying about Birds of Prey. All rights reserved. – Clarisse Loughrey, Independent, Does the movie’s pop-feminist message need to be as consistently, cartoonishly violent as it is? – Kirsten Acuna, Insider, Birds of Prey stands on its own more than most comic book movies. This one is another early access release. Available Friday, 3/27 on: FandangoNOW, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu. Before he took on big budget blockbusters like Sherlock Holmes and Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake, Guy Ritchie was best known for his intricately plotted, uniquely stylized British crime capers, like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.

Available Friday, 3/27 on: FandangoNOW, Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu. This one is available early as well. References to the Joker and Batman are few and far between. Sign up here. – John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter, Robbie reminds you why Harley is the role she was born to play. – Kirsten Acuna, Insider, Winstead’s self-serious, mafia-bred, crossbow-toting Huntress appears to be ripped out of another movie entirely. The audience scores for Birds of Prey have arrived on Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and IMDB. All rights reserved. – Kirsten Acuna, Insider, Birds of Prey provides a perfect setup for a host of other intriguing spinoffs in the DC cinematic universe — can we request Poison Ivy next? Shenanigans, of course, ensue. It does play in some heavy themes, but it’s a decent family-friendly adventure, which isn’t as easy to come by as it might seem. Affleck plays an alcoholic former high school basketball star who now works in construction, but is forced to face his past and present demons when he’s asked to fill the coaching slot at his alma mater. It’s well known that working with animals is difficult, and it’s probably more of a hassle if one is the star of your film. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm, Boasts some of the most inventive fight sequences ever seen in a comic book movie… The smackdowns have a tangible, bone-crunching quality that sets them apart from the overly CGIed slugfests found in many other superhero movies lately. That’s why it was kind of a nice surprise when Gavin O’Connor’s new drama The Way Back turned out to be more than just another Inspirational Sports Movie. That said, it also has its share of genuinely moving moments, and at the very least, it doesn’t spend its time trying to fight any specific religious battles. – Hannah Woodhead, Little White Lies, In terms of DCEU films, McGregor’s Sionis and Messina’s Zsasz are my favorite villains…[with] some of the best villain moments seen in a comic book film to-date. Critics say it kind of works, mostly because the storytelling is earnest and because Harrison Ford does surprisingly great, understated work in a role he quite frankly could have sleepwalked through. Forgot your password? Matthew McConaughey takes center stage as an American marijuana kingpin in London who decides he wants to go straight, which attracts the attention from a number of interested parties who either want to buy him out of his empire, expose his secrets, or dispose of him and take over. Despite the star power of Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role and a voice cast that includes Tom Holland, John Cena, Octavia Spencer, Emma Thompson, and Selena Gomez, among others, and despite the advancements in modern CGI technology, Dolittle still managed to earn one of the lowest Tomatometer scores of the year so far. Fans were therefore understandably excited for Ritchie’s latest film, The Gentlemen, which looked to be a return to form for him, and most were fairly satisfied with what they got. – Susana Polo, Polygon, The actresses who come together to form Harley’s posse… have presence to spare, but you wish they’d been given more to do. Nevertheless, it was a hit with both critics and audiences, and with all the theater closures and self-quarantining, Warner Bros. has released the film to the digital market a little early. That movie, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), opened back in early February, and in truth, it was more of a team-up than a strict solo joint, with Robbie’s Harley forming her Birds of Prey alongside a gang of fearsome women to take on a sadistic crime boss. All rights reserved. Critics say it’s colorful, briskly paced, full of stellar action, and a great showcase for Robbie’s endless charisma, and it’s available for digital purchase now. – Alex Abad-Santos, Vox, Birds of Prey’s clearly shot and inventively staged action sequences feel like the first superhero movie response to John Wick’s success. This small, faith-based drama was also released the same weekend when Bloodshot came out (the third wide release that week was The Hunt, which arrived on digital last week), and it largely plays out like a Christian Nicholas Sparks movie, even though it’s based on a true story. Copyright © 2018 Fandango. – Gavia Baker-Whitelaw, The Daily Dot, Hodson has made sure internal and external character stakes are cogent. Any similarities are only surface level. – Hannah Woodhead, Little White Lies, Birds of Prey looks like what you’d imagine Suicide Squad could have been under a clearer vision. See below for the most notable titles hitting VOD this week. Copyright ©  2018 Fandango. It may provide a few thrills here and there for viewers who aren’t asking for much, but let’s just say this one was probably destined to hit the digital market sooner rather than later even if current circumstances hadn’t been what they are. – Hannah Woodhead, Little White Lies, The film is itself a liberation from male-led and male-created superhero comic book movies. Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is in theaters on February 7. Available now on: FandangoNOW, Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu. – Kirsten Acuna, Insider, It’s going for the sparky nihilist defiance… [but] Birds of Prey could have used more of the intricate cleverness of Deadpool. – Owen Gleiberman, Variety, Those hoping for a Deadpool-like fusion of mayhem and wit should lower their expectations. – Owen Gleiberman, Variety, Birds of Prey barely holds together plot-wise… That Yan directs the movie with a pinball comic energy, in scenes of action and character interaction, makes a world of difference. She captures this unapologetic, dynamic complex woman with delirious verve and vigor. Almost definitely not. – Alonso Duralde, The Wrap, Show[s] us just how cool Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey can be, so we’re left wanting to get back in line for their next movie. – Helen O’Hara, Time Out, Yan may be a newcomer to the big-budget blockbuster, but she brings an assured confidence to each stylistic choice. – Angie Han, Mashable, Birds of Prey is a true ensemble in the sense that it doesn’t work because one person or one part is excellent, but because they all are. The story centers on a married couple (Ferrell and Louis-Dreyfus) whose relationship suffers when the husband abandons the family during an avalanche scare, and critics say the new version doesn’t quite have the same bite as the original, in part because Ferrell’s husband character is a bit too much of a dolt to dislike, undermining the satire at its core. The success of Wonder Woman proved women-helmed, women-led superhero movies could be immensely successful, and now Warner Bros. and DC continue to lead in that arena with Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey, with Margot Robbie reprising her Suicide Squad role as Gotham City antihero Harley Quinn.
