Birds Of Prey
The film has a lot of problems, but it’s also an enjoyable mess. The visual elements are strong and the freeze-frame vignettes are well executed, but the story is weak. The characters are cardboard cutouts and the plot is convoluted. Despite these flaws, Birds Of Prey is an enjoyable watch that’s worth considering for its visual and technical achievements.
However, while Birds Of Prey has a lot in common with Promising Young Woman, it also has some key differences. For one, Promising Young Woman is set in the present day and focuses on the story of a young woman who is trying to find her place in the world. While Birds Of Prey is set in the past and revolves around the story of a woman who is trying to find her place in the world, it also features a strong female lead.
