Suzanne Harrington: Things are bad when Miranda Priestly is the good guy

Monolithic power accrued by unaccountable, unimaginable wealth means we are living in the age of the techno tyrant, says Suzanne Harrington

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is such a misfire because it reveres something rotten while pretending otherwise, says Suzanne Harrington. 

You know that feeling of sinking cringe you had at the Sex and the City movies? Even if you loved the original series? The Devil Wears Prada 2 delivers that exact same feeling — the original having charmed us — but for a different reason.

It’s not the preposterous plot contrived to shoehorn the original characters back into the same room; we are all adept at suspending disbelief at the altar of entertainment.
