Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/references to drugs

Runaway is trying to step through some difficult times: briefly; Andrea "Andy" Sachs [Anne Hathaway:] she has recently lost her job and being asked from up above to come into Runway and basically shaking up and become their new feature editor, she can bring her own selection of staff with her. Miranda Priestly [Meryl Streep:] she is still  the editor-in-chief of the Runway fashion magazine, it wasn't her idea to bring Sachs, but she is now married for the second time in her life to somebody new; Stuart Simmons [Kenneth Branagh:] he is a very supportive husband and as always she has Nigel Kipling [Stanley Tucci:] he is still doing his thing at Runway and remains her right-hand man, meanwhile Emily Charlton [Emily Blunt:] she is now a senior executive at Dior and moved on in her personal life as well.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 119 minutes film is good; they use from time to time accompanying background music or/and hectic workload montages; to give this sequel this upwardly mobile with gusto approach, look and feel.

Art; because we are in the world of fashion, expect some art in one way or another such as this Last Supper or this fashion show in Milan featuring a special guest

Comedy, character developments and performances; now we do have some comical bits and pieces such a Charlton making references to Sachs' eyebrows or/and Priestly's first assistant Amari Mari [Simone Ashley:] she is highly focused on the job and from now and again she has the unfortunate job of telling Priestly; that her language by today's standards can't be used, she will make reference to HR and basically fill in the missing gap, by using this comedy element from time to time it freshen things up and also they make references to the industry as of its previous instalment and possibly future when it brings up; something to the effect of when will I know when I have had enough. You see by using the past, the present and possible in the future it does a lot of the heavy lifting which in my opinion is necessary in this case or any case for a franchise that goes in this case two decades between instalments, so in essence they have been smart enough to acknowledge in every way shape or form that time has passed, time is never stopping, but also encapsulated this whole yet again approach and feeling of at this we haven't been way.

The newcomers into this; franchise/world are excellent additions as they slot in perfectly with the established cast; so this is very much a cast performance; spearheaded by established or/and newcomers of female characters and performers and liked Priestly being reminded about her language from Mari and consequently HR I am not being a sexist, I am just being factual and nothing more or less.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; as I have only referenced it has moved and freshen things about, I am clearly not going to take any markings off for this, and this is just how this sequel kind of wraps everything out as if we could get another sequel in the future, which it has to be said if we don't... well this is just naughty filmmaking and yes just in case if you're wondering I have already looked for something like confirmation or at minimum something I have seen many bits and pieces saying in this that and the other, but nothing I feel confident putting down, so as things are I would say this again... if we don't get another sequel this is just very naughty. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; such as 1 Winner Digital Spy Reader Awards 2025 Movie Award Most Anticipated Movie Of 2026 and 1 Nominee The Queerties Queerty Next Big Thing Runner-up.
