‘Barbie’ (2023)
However, one day something feels different, and Barbie starts feeling weird (human). As she experiences her first existential crisis, she sets on a path of discovery to the real world to understand who she really is, with the hilarious Ken (Ryan Gosling).
A cinematic masterpiece by Greta Gerwig, it’s Margot Robbie’s acting, physical comedy and her extremely relatable quest to understand herself in a world that isn’t perfect, which puts Barbie among the greatest films in recent years.
‘I, Tonya’ (2017)
The movie is centered around the attack on US team member, Nancy Kerrigan, committed by Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly. Quite brilliantly, Margot Robbie’s acting in this dark comedy convinces the audience of her innocence in the affair, even while much of the evidence is against her. For her role as Tonya Harding, Margot Robbie earned the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Actress.
‘Babylon’ (2022)
As the film progresses, the audience sees the rise and eventual fall of Nellie, as the damage caused by Hollywood finally catches up with her and those around her.
Margot Robbie masterfully portrays this journey from the top of the top to rock bottom thanks, even learning how to cry on demand. It’s her commitment to embodying the chaotic essence of Nellie – from chaotic joy to anger – that truly makes her performance unforgettable.
‘Harley Quinn’ (2016 – present)
In Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn has just broken up with The Joker, and has now become the target of other criminals who seek exact vengeance on her. Throughout the movie, Quinn destroys a large-scale gangster who has terrorized the streets of Gotham and forms a superhero team known as the Birds of Prey.
Subsequently, in The Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is a more traditional superhero, looking to protect her team and the rest of humanity. It is through Margot Robbie’s magnificent portrayal of Harley Quinn that the character today is a standalone superhero and will continue to be reprised in upcoming films. For her portrayal of Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie has received significant critical acclaim.
‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ (2013)
In what would become her breakout performance in Hollywood, her portrayal of Naomi and the glamor and opulence that surrounded her was a brilliant addition to DiCaprio’s portrayal of Belfort.
A perfect balance to each other, with Belfort’s manic obsession with wealth complimented by Naomi’s elegance, Robbie’s performance as Naomi instantly pushed her to the heights of Hollywood.
‘Focus’ (2015)
However, with Nicky worried about losing ‘focus’ from his cons, he breaks it off with Jess and sends her away. This doesn’t mark the end of their relationship, though, as when Nicky looks to pull his greatest con yet, his path crosses Jess again, and their journey from then on is full of adventure and even more heart-stopping moments.
‘Mary Queen of Scots’ (2018)
The drama tells the story of the two cousins, who despite their hatred for one another and the fierce rivalry between them, are still two young women battling to keep their reigns intact in a court dominated by conniving men.
Poignant and dramatic, Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Elizabeth is an incredible ode to an ever-relevant time in history.
