Journalist Daniel Baptista from The Movie Podcast talk about a sequel “fun and fierce“, adding: “The return of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway feels completely natural. The film is familiar in the best way, very current, and well worth the wait.”

Variety’s Jazz Tangcay is even more enthusiastic: “The Devil Wears Prada 2 is phenomenal. The perfect sequel, which exceeds all expectations. The script by Aline Brosh McKenna is lively, intelligent and biting. This film will be cited for years to come. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are always excellent. The costumes are sublime, and the soundtrack is incredible.”

For his part, Alex Werpin of the Hollywood Reporter speaks of a “biting media satire wrapped in fashion luxury”, adding: “All journalists who see it will have reactions of recognition…sometimes embarrassing.”

Erik Anderson of Awards Watch goes in the same direction: “It’s hard to imagine that a fan of the first film could be disappointed. It’s funny, charming and full of very satisfying moments. Anne Hathaway remains a shining star. It’s both nostalgic and very current.”

Rachel Leishman Collider summarizes more bluntly: “Stanley Tucci made me cry twice. I loved it. No complaints.”

Finally, Matt Neglia, founder of Next Best Picture, emphasizes the broader dimension of the film: “It’s funny, charming, with a real emotional payoff. The actors return to their roles as if time had not passed. And above all, the film is about the degradation of the media and those who fight to keep it alive. It’s not high art, but there’s real sincerity behind the glamour.”
