"The sequel thus finds a good reason to exist: It has plenty of breezy fun probing the dilemmas of modern media, without abandoning the glitz that made the original so enduring."
"At first, the story is a bit of a retread: 20 years later, Runway still exists, and Miranda still rules it with a relatively iron fist."
"The magazine's budgets are no longer limitless, the September issue is not quite as thick with glossy ads, and dreaded words such as content and traffic are bandied about during meetings."
The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada shifts from personal struggles to existential crises in the media landscape. Set 20 years later, Runway magazine faces budget constraints and changing industry dynamics. The film retains its fun and glitzy essence while addressing contemporary issues like content and traffic. Despite concerns about nostalgia-driven fan service, the sequel offers a fresh perspective with a strong cast, including returning characters like Nigel Kipling and Andy's former rival, Emily Blunt. The director and screenwriter have crafted a compelling narrative that resonates with today's audience.
