All Guild Reviews of Supergirl
Milly Alcock brings heart, hurt and humanity to a terrific Supergirl
Supergirl has more spark than Superman in spirit, If not in scale. Milly Alcock is superb as an emotionally numb drifter masking deep-seated grief with impulsive behaviour and a sense of exhaustion. She channels Kara's dormant rage and lingering heartbreak with remarkable conviction.
Superhero fatigue has been setting in for quite some time now, with both Marvel and DC struggling to find the right footing. In the race for bigger spectacles, sprawling multiverses, time travel, and interconnected sagas, many superhero films traded genuine emotion and character for sheer scale and experimentation. Audiences, understandably, began to lose interest. James Gunn rebooted the DC Universe with Superman (2025), introducing the dimpled David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel. While the film dazzled with its scale and visual ambition, it often felt emotionally scattered and underwhelming. What lingered long after the credits, however, were the brief but memorable glimpses of Milly Alcock’s carefree, rebellious Supergirl.
