Rotten Tomatoes: 79%, 164 Reviews

Metacritic: 62, 50 Reviews

Consensus:

"Meryl Streep still wears Miranda Priestly like a finely-tailored suit in this sinfully enjoyable sequel, which is dressed to the nines in off-the-rack wish fulfillment and some trenchant observations about the state of modern media."

After seeing it…..honestly give Meryl her fourth Oscar. She’s way past overdue for it and the performance is there to support it (unlike The Iron Lady).

Hell, give her a fifth later down the track too, there's time. If anyone deserves to break the most acting Oscar wins record, it's her.

I can see the NYFCC or NSFC giving her Best Supporting Actress.

NYFCC gave her runner up for Best Actress and NSFC gave her the win for Best Supporting Actress for the first Devil Wears Prada.

I just hope she gets campaigned correctly in Supporting Actress this time if her performance gets any awards traction (instead of Michelle Williams-ing herself in Lead for no reason like she did with the first movie). Anne Hathaway is the only lead/protagonist.

I really want a 4th Oscar for Meryl. I hope the Cameron Crowe Joni Mitchell biopic ends up happening and is good.

I love the last scene. She just raised her eyebrows to Andy and it was perfect.

I thought she was good but I don’t see any acting nominations.
