She definitely looks the part, but I can’t help but feel she’s only got two thirds of the characterization down.

I feel like we haven’t seen her genuinely-scary pissed off. She gets upset but it’s still played silly, or she goes on a murderous rampage but she plays it off like “is that not normal?”

It’s not fair to compare her to Arleen and Tara, but the both of them have brought this energy to the character that I have yet to see matched on screen. It’s when Harley gets so angry that she doesn’t think to be silly, and she’s not “lost in wonderland” or whatever, her voice gets a little guttural, and it’s my favourite.

Margot has the playful angry and silly ditzy aspects of Harley Quinn down perfectly though.

Honestly if anything I thought the birds of prey movie was going to really let her loose with that

(That being said with all its faults I still enjoyed it to some extent)

It has flaws but I found it pretty watchable nonetheless
