The Devil Wears Prada

Rating: 6/10 (5 February 2017)

While I appreciate films that represent educated, career-driven women, this film might come off as a disappointment to many that hold prior expectations for what "The Devil Wears Prada" offers. Although it seems like a comedy, a 'woman's' movie, and/or a satire of the fashion industry, the film does not push any of these expectations hard enough, especially with its ending. However, if you are looking for a film about unapologetic women who will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals, then "The Devil Wears Prada" dresses to impress. And in the same way, the film itself is unapologetic in presenting these women's realistic struggles within the workforce, not caring whether or not it entertains or bores you. If there's a reason to dislike the movie, it's likely because the story might be too boring for those who can't relate to the true-to-life sacrifices these characters make in pursuit of their careers, or too accurate (and even perhaps depressing) for those that do.
