Birds of Prey

What is it?

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a superhero film based on the DC comics of the same name. The recently single Harley Quinn narrates a twisted tale about Gotham's most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Victor Zsasz. When the crime lords put a target on a young jewel thief named Cass, the city turns upside down looking for her. Harley decides to join forces with Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to take Sionis and Zsasz down.

What to expect

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is set against the DC comic fictional universe. The film is laden with violence and contains elements of cruelty, including graphic depictions and sequences of assault and murder. Although the feature breaks up the action through Harley’s comedic commentary, the relentless violence could be frightening, shocking and disturbing to children and younger teens. The sheer extent of it in the film is also likely to have an inuring effect on them. The moral ambiguity is likely to negatively affect the attitudes of children and younger teens to real-life crime. Some sexual material and use of highly offensive language is moderate in impact.
