I wish it showed more redemption and less 'being cool and hip'

Rating: 6/10 (20 January 2007)

I gave this movie an 6 because Streep does a very fine job in this one. This movie somewhat exposes the shady side of the fashion industry. With the characters at the top of their game their chemistry (as characters not actors) blends well and creates a highly entertaining movie all-in-all. The story itself is very good, to be honest we see glimpses of fashion shows, New York. Everyday yet how many of us really wonder what's going on? This movie answers your questions somewhat and shows u the grit and glam that we don't see in the numbers reported daily. I recommend this movie to any Streep fan.
However, the film doesn't show enough of the redemption of man. It's like 'Entourage' - Hollywood is so in love with itself, yet never stops to ask why are we in love with ourselves. There's nothing funny with getting backstabbed, yet Hollywood celebrates it.
