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

This film was pretty good. I even dare to say it was ahead of its time wonderful performances from all the cast. Meryl Streep, as always is the start of the show, Anne Hathaway brings to life complex, but likable character. It took me a long time to watch it, but after watching this, I can’t wait for the sequel.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Excellent. Andy's boyfriend wasn't "right about everything" btw, and the couple probably should have just broken up sooner as young adults grow apart sometimes. Emily Blunt was a big part of this film and sadly doesn't get enough credit for her contribution. A great story, a great title, and some terrific filming in both NYC and Paris.

The first time I watched this film when I was a child in the late 2000's. I was impressed with this glamours world of high-fashion. I didn't understand Andy's decision to leave the role of Miranda Priestlys assistant, because I was sure that everyone wants to be on the top and have luxurious clothes. Lately I rewatched this film with a fresh eyes. I totally agree that Miranda is vicious, arrogant, notorious sadist. I think todays gen Z and Alpha wouldn't allow to be treated like that. I was happy when Andy decided to quit. In pursuit of success and Mirandas approval she lost herself, because Andy is kind inside and don't want to walk over people. But at the same time I can understand why Miranda became herself. The world of show business is wild and if you want to survive, you should have a strong character. The film kept me interested. I like all this little quips, funny scenes and cheesy moments. Highly recommend this film because of engaging storyline, important topics and memorable characters.

This film's about nada. Breezy movie but empty and shallow. Like cotton candy. Watch for Meryl's scenes and Simon Baker in a towel. And for a fashion primer on cerulean blue.

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.
