Andy Sachs returns to Runway as Miranda Priestly navigates a new media landscape and Runway's position within. The duo reconnect with former assistant Emily Charlton, now the head of a luxury brand that possesses funding which could ensure Runway's survival.
What critics thought
The sequel earns mostly warm notices for its media-industry backdrop and the returning cast, but critics are split on whether it actually says anything worth saying — supporters find its blend of glitz and social commentary shrewdly calibrated, while detractors see the commentary as half-formed and the whole enterprise as a sequel that arrived before it was truly ready.
“selling a truckload of preposterous goods, but it sells them awfully well, with unfeigned assurance, conviction, and the appropriate ratio of cynicism to hope”
Justin Chang·The New Yorker
“Miranda is given more depth this time, which softens her just a tad, but it forces the viewer to root for her success. That would bug me, but The Devil Wears Prada 2 successfully gives journalists a bigger villain to hiss at and resent”
Odie Henderson·The Boston Globe
“gives us a lot to look at, and Hathaway and Blunt in particular are a pleasure, but it's flat champagne: maybe worth drinking in a pinch, but unsatisfying”
Moira MacDonald·The Seattle Times
“The Devil Wears Prada 2 feels like it came off the rack before it was ready. It feels about as groundbreaking as florals in spring”
