REVIEW
With rapid-fire dialog and terrific acting (especially Streep’s portrayal of the cold and reserved boss barking out unreasonable demands) coupled with crisp editing and a good story line, this is a very enjoyable comedy about the fashion industry.
CLASSIFICATION
for mature themes, profanity (a four-letter word repeated three times) and sexual situations FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
In the opening scenes, Andy is dressed warmly in a brown tweed jacket with a belt. Sometimes the crossed over belt length is down to the third button but in other shots it is very short, only a couple of inches long.
When called into Miranda’s office, Andy has a strand of hair hanging down over her right eye. However in each close-up shot of her, the hair is no longer there.
When Nigel and Andy are having some champagne in her hotel room, the face of a crew member can be seen in the window reflection.
