“And yes, it was worth making a musical of the film: worth another dose of the shiny , fabulous and curiously wise nonsense of it.”
By Libby PurvesDec 6, 2024
“Honestly, a lot of this change is carried by the charm of Whitfield and his chemistry with his co-star Buckland.”

“Like Miranda Priestly herself, the Devil Wears Prada knows what it is and what it wants, and you’re certainly not going to stand in its way.”
“...a blend of awe-inspiring spectacle, sharp wit, and occasionally uneven storytelling.”
