My first trip to the flicks in twenty years! 🎬
“Admit I was troubled 20 years would cause the actors’ lines to sag like old bras”
Lady Gaga “I’m surprised you’re here: you don’t like me!” Ridiculous notion! The iconic moment as we view Miranda, NY’s fashion editor bitch unparalleled with Lady G in mirror image
Miranda Beastly at her best
Surely someone can remember the poor woman’s name? Andy Sachs! Sachs – think Goldman, not ball
Popcorn 🍿 go outsize and consume it all, you have 2 hours, don’t hold back and DO NOT walk out with it, leave the canister and avoid looking pathetically cheapskate in the street! You’ll thank me even if it cost you a steak
In this film we are immediately reminded: inside EVERYONE feels secretly dowdy, frumpy and indecisive and as Andy bursts ecstatically in Miranda’s Editor Office we pause: does the owl now suffer from senior moments? As she peers thru glasses looking blank, has she lost it?
“Who is she?” “One of the Emily’s”
We’re back in town! 👠💋 🎬 .. press on!
But where is THE original Emily? Head of advertorial at Dior demanding page space in compense for Miranda’s “sweatshop” fall from grace, hot stuff with her new Egyptian goddess eyelashes
Times have moved on however! Miranda’s new p.a. is at hand at the board table to constantly nudge “you’re not supposed to say that!”
Political correctness threatens to deluge the originality but I’m relieved to find nothing of the vegan world, LGBT+, modern medical issues nor climate change bs intruding here! I did not feel lectured at but entertainingly entertained!
Iphones, digital and downloads drag the film reluctantly into the mid 2020s along with the threatening but largely bullshit AI – interestingly where the movie The Saint in 1997 predicted smartphones, news produced by the media itself, and geoengineered weather patterns, this 2026 movie recommends a return to human values and core individual creativity, giving me pause to wonder if we might be retracting the short walk down a plank and off
✍🏽🧤🦤
Miranda bloomers spectacularly with epic lines “May my suicide be short and painless” “What? I wasn’t talking about killing anyone else!” and the bizarre “Where is she? Oh I thought she’d been human trafficked”
This production feels like licorice pick n mix yet is staunchly heterosexual and maybe they were ryeght to hold off the touching lesbian scene potential – instead, forever rivals the two Emilys make up “I don’t want to hold your hand, but ..” and a further dig at eyebrows which we do not, I’m glad, see transformed
👠 I adore the outdoor dresses, the glorious fashion shows, the sparkling, sumptuous, sextacular outfits, all more real and on location!
A spectacularly sexless show: the new Mr Miranda is an eye bagged Branagh and Andy falls somewhat limply for a building contractor – the sex interest fails to arouse and after the blandest kiss in cinematic history my relief the door slammed in the faces of the camera crew was seismic: I would have to vacate if asked to view Andy thrashing about the sheets with some bloke from downtown in or out of a shirt
Thankfully the script understood this 💋
🏢 However if you lust for street scenes of New York or Milan, or long glossy floors, this is your film! The secret drama takes place inside expensive executive cars
Andy however takes the train – you’ll see
This film is SO HOT 🔥
Lady G steals the show in a stunning performance and M kisses Tucci’s softly played Nigel! 💋 He likes it! We sense a long secret love affair of decades .. 💕
(I’d like a lot more sexual intrigue, also I always like power women smashing everything up but this is not a Sandra Bullock)
Nigel immaculately gives an entire new angle to “Slay six at bus stop” = turn up in Versace
“Did you smash your little face on the pavement?” becomes “Get the train” but once again Andy pulls off the impossible and the plot revolves around a secret power woman besting male supremacy, of which I approve: meanwhile Miranda is best pleased Editor of Runway as viewing figures top out with Andy’s astonishing exclusive interview 👠💋
Will Andy renounce her opportunity to cash in a cool $350,000 releasing an all bitch memoir of the inside Miranda? The pressure takes toll! But Andy has an epiphany moment as Iesu gets his 15 minutes of fame at the Last Supper and behold! You can be perhaps human if not perfect and her plans begin to slide into alignment! This is a spiritual quality to an otherwise materialistic film and adds a special quality
My personal question throughout is “Who is wearing their money well?” If you took money out of the equation, what exactly is left? That’s my spiritual angle 💫💛💫
I also felt a strong message that we own nothing and only pass thru this material realm
We do what we can with what we get and it develops and reflects our character
✍🏽 As we are reminded in the trailers here the script was everything but I have to say, adding a pinch of Gaga to any guacamole is going to spice up the party a whole whole lot! That’s not to diminish the casts’ superb involvement in any way = this film is visual spectacle and prismic utterance every inch of the catwalk 👢🐈⬛
These are career experts “Figure out how” no road map, sorry, gps
Finally a touching scene as we discover to whom Andy really owes her assignment 🤯🥰
Well, go see The Devil Wears Prada 2 for yourself! I did, you can! 👠💋 🍿
As a nice extra, I stepped inside a wine boutique before Kino and the assistant went to college with a student who later worked for Anna Wintour so how about that eh? Whammy 👘💄🛍
🎬 ACTION! TAKE 2
👠 💋 ♥️
