  1. Movie Review (some spoilers): The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review

    I don’t envy the challenge of making a sequel to an iconic generation-defining movie 20 years later. Two decades have passed, and it’s not just that the actors are older and smartphones are everywhere. We’re in a different world today, and the reality of radical wealth centralization around a few billionaires with no taste has started to encroach even on the elite world of fashion that the original movie portrayed.

    At its core, the original movie was about _work_. Miranda is at the pinnacle of wealth, society, and power through her _work_. Work is what she does. It’s her entire life. And she _loves_ it. Andrea is young and wealthy and privileged, but she’s also highly educated and extremely talented and hopes, dreams, aspires for validation through her _work_. For young aspiring members of the future PMC class, it was exhilarating. Sure, you didn’t have much, but the future! Power, wealth, recognition, and the _thrill_ and _excitement_ of success were just around the corner. And how would you get there? Work!!

    Today, things are different. All the money in society is concentrated in the hands of a bakers dozen of billionaires. And they don’t give two fucks about style, taste, beauty, humanity, morality, or human labor. They don’t give a fuck about work. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. How hard you strive. How tough you hustle. Because there’s no path from where you are to the top. Period.

    The reason—the only reason—The Devil Wears Prada 2 succeeds is because it acknowledges this. In 2006 the top of the top of the top was Miranda, but in 2026 even she is forced to grovel and beg to billionaires who care about nothing. Emily Blunt makes the reality explicit, dating men she finds despicable (‘patrons,’ she calls them) because, in 2026, this is the only kind of ‘work’ that can give someone access to true wealth and power.

    At one point a billionaire suggests they just fire everyone and replace the magazine with AI slop.

    It’s important to recognize this is, technically, a work of fiction and not a documentary.

    4/5 stars. Or, 3/5 because it’s still a sequel.

  2. Ich bin mir gerade unschlüssig, was ich von dem Film halten soll. Gebraucht hätte es die Fortsetzung nicht, ich finde, sie schadet der Geschichte des ersten Films. Ein dritter Teil kann eigentlich nur zum Fiasko werden. #kino #derteufeltragtprada2 #thedevilwearsprada2 #citykinos #yorckunlimited

  5. O filme em si foi ok, 7/10

    Mas o que ele representa e representou na minha vida é o que me fez chorar hj

  6. Devil Wears Prada 1 felt like a critique of the fashion industry, & industry in-general. But also showing the genuine hard work that goes on behind it. And the humans somewhere within it. And also, yes, a commercial for it.

    I can see where #TheDevilWearsPrada2 is trying to do that. And kind of achieves that in moments. In other moments, it feels awkward. It's not baaaad. It's not as cutting & clever as 1. Feels emptier, but not vacant.
