Birds of Prey

When it comes to the best feminist movies, Birds of Prey is an option you should not miss. We understand that Birds of Prey might not be the first choice that springs to your mind when you think of excellent films (after all, nothing associated with DC's Suicide Squad does!) But no worry, the updated portrayal of Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey serves as an excellent role model of feminists for younger audiences - to the point that after 2016, almost all girls had long blue-and-pink tresses for Halloween!

Margot Robbie's small shorts and sexualized performances in Suicide Squad used to spark a lot of debates, but this time, you can be certain that Birds of Prey was helmed by a woman director! Director Cathy Yan abandoned Harley Quinn’s long hair and provocative attire for a more approachable look. And instead of charming her way out of problems, Harley Quinn spends the majority of the film utilizing her intelligence and having slumber parties, balancing villainy with feminist sass!
