The Devil Wears Prada

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2006)

I found this film to be a delightful fable with a positive message about life choices. Miranda is an impossible witch with very few redeeming qualities; as the antagonist, she is a superb example of unhappiness. The protagonist is also superb in her naiveté and enthusiasm. The depiction of the cutthroat world of fashion, publishing and advertising was a real eye-opener and although disturbing in its negativity, educational just the same. The acting and photography were very good. Since the film contained few profanities, depictions of sex and violence, although there were concepts of immorality, it was much appreciated for its general niceness in this regard.
