David Frankel directs Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci in this legacy sequel where Andy Sachs reunites with Miranda Priestly as they navigate their careers amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing.

Is it needed? Is it essential? Is it even fashionable? D Wears P 2 at least has something to say. About? The end of print journalism. The gobbling up of culture by philistine billionaires. Career perspective at the midway point of the tunnel. The couture is excellent and Tucci gets the best moments. Would I have liked more Emily Blunt? Yes. Should Emily be framed as an antagonist? No… Emily should get to go to Paris. At least a cheeky obvious reshoot coda redresses her and Andy’s relationship. Utterly charming when it is frothy and not too shabby when it toughens up.
