Ho-hum. This was a big disappointment. I haven’t read the book but from the title I was expecting a sturdy feminist tale of a young woman who grapples with the fashion industry and survives triumphant, her good sense in tact. Sadly no. I was so looking forward to bite and insight into a business that encourages women to contort their bodies into unnatural positions, lust after things they don’t need and pay exorbitant amounts for tat.
Meryl Streep has the movie’s main redeeming feature, she had all the best lines and gave her character some serious depth. Simon Baker was very easy on the eyes. Can’t say there’s much else to recommend this peon to the fashion industry.
