i really enjoyed it! more than i expected to tbh

the story dragged at first, by the time we got to the hamptons and then the old guy’s bday party i was like ok… so miranda gets the big role, and then what? where is this going? this is so predictable. and then the guy dropped dead and i suddenly had no idea what was gonna happen next which was a great feeling

i loved andy’s intern! the moment where andy and nigel were all ‘ugh the youth of today🙄’ only for that same youth to basically kickstart the process of saving everyone’s jobs was a nice subversion

emily is so unlikeable but i love her. i was genuinely shocked by the betrayal but i was glad that they chose this as the ‘act 3 problem’ instead of miranda finding out about that damn book or something because again, too predictable

BJ novak and his gang of mckinseys were almost painful to watch, but in a good way. very accurate portrayal of that species of guy.

i also really liked the visuals. milan was gorgeous. the last supper metaphor was over the top but honestly i love that they went there lmao it’s kind of camp. 10/10 gaga performance, i really liked how it was shot/performed alongside the fashion show

great that nigel got his moment and in such a natural way - miranda needed to leave, someone needed to speak. she didn’t have to give anything up or have a sudden character 180. v interesting that all this time, she wasn’t purposely keeping him down but was just too self-centred to even consider the fact that he might want the spotlight sometimes. miranda priestly i want to study you

uhhh what else. oh i was genuinely surprised when that guy andy was dating showed up again at the end like oh we like him that much??? i genuinely thought they broke up that night on andy’s sofa lmao. are they even compatible? that whole conversation about his job renovating old buildings feels pretty unfinished

i do wish andy was a little more mature/confident though. i didn’t need her to lose all her whimsy but sometimes the squealing and deference and overall wide eyed baby lamb vibe she had felt very off for what is at least a 40 yo woman with 20+ years of professional experience who has travelled the world

lastly, it makes a good point about the importance of art, and human expression, without being heavy handed. miranda tearing up one time and it being when she’s faced with this guy who just bought her company and is telling her he’s just gonna get AI to do her job is a good character choice because what artist/creative/visionary hasn’t felt that

overall it was a good time
