Critics Consensus

A rare film that surpasses the quality of its source novel, this Devil is a witty expose of New York's fashion scene, with Meryl Streep in top form and Anne Hathaway more than holding her own.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

It's Meryl's movie, everyone says, and in a way it is. She gives a furiously funny performance as a furiously nasty bit of work... But, as I said earlier, scenes without her suffer horribly.

An agreeably shallow comedy.

Lessons of Darkness

Makes one pine for any comparable '50s working-girl comedy (or, for that matter, 1988's Working Girl).

Rated: C

Solzy at the Movies

When you think of the final years of Fox before the Disney acquisition, The Devil Wears Prada is one of the standout films--they don't make them like they used to.

Rated: 5/5

If looks can truly kill, Meryl Streep's Miranda may very well be the fashion industry's most notorious serial killer.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

Herald Sun (Australia)

This one goes out to anyone suffering the whims of a tyrannical employer. For you, this will be so much more than a fun, fashion-conscious comedy. It will be therapy.

Rated: 3.5/5

I find the idealization of Miranda so weird? I thought she was actually gonna be iconic because I watched the movie before the book but all I got was an actually brutal and awful employer. I get that Miranda probably had to be tough to work her way to the top but... I'd hate to have her as my boss

Without Streep and Blunt, it’s just glossy noise. They’re the only ones giving it any shape.

74%. 7/26/25. Hadn't seen score. Film is entertaining enough. About a smart girl trying to be come a journalist getting a job at a fashion publication. It's fun to see her start to care about her job and slowly winning Miranda's respect. Good cast with Emily Blunt and Adriene Grenier also. Had a few chuckles. 3/5 rewatch

The Devil Wears Prada – A Timeless Classic 👠 The Devil Wears Prada is an absolutely incredible, iconic film — one of those rare movies that feels like it was made specifically for its audience. With powerhouse performances from Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep (not Glenn Close, though the confusion is common!), it delivers everything from fierce drama to razor-sharp wit. The direction is tight and focused, spotlighting the “evil boss” dynamic that eventually unfolds into something far more layered. Watching Hathaway’s character transform from a timid assistant into a confident, empowered woman is so satisfying — especially with Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly giving her the ultimate, if brutal, push. This is a classic that will live on for generations. The editing, the fashion, the comedy, the little quips — all of it is polished and purposeful. It strikes that perfect balance between biting commentary and heartfelt storytelling. I highly recommend this film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must-watch. And if you have? Watch it again. I’ve probably seen it at least 30 times myself — and I’m still not tired of it. 👠✨ That’s all.
