A young woman from the Midwest gets more than she bargained for when she moves to New York to become a writer and ends up as the assistant to the tyrannical, larger-than-life editor-in-chief of a major fashion magazine.
Critics Sentiment
Miranda sacrifices Nigel's career to save her own position
Emily berates Andy after being replaced following her accident
The film peaks with Miranda's calculated betrayal of Nigel, showcasing Streep's masterful performance, before dipping during the hospital confrontation with Emily.
Critics consistently praised Meryl Streep's commanding performance as Miranda Priestly, with her scenes driving the film's highest moments. While some found the story predictable and certain non-fashion world scenes less engaging, the sharp dialogue, strong supporting cast, and nuanced exploration of workplace ambition kept reviewers entertained. The film succeeds as glossy entertainment with surprising moral complexity.
