somewhere in the world and woman scientist be try to determine the nature of dark matter and be measure and compose computer model regard gamma ray burster . they be crouch in the bush in africa and observe bonobo behavior and and they be hunch over telescope in laboratory and seek a cure for cancer and do micropaleontology . woman be build office building and design bridge and do climate research in antarctica and and try to design disease resistant rice strain to help stave off famine . but not in this movie . in this movie and woman be obsess with their exterior in the mirror and with a bunch of goofy look clothes which and when they see themselves photograph in them fifteen year down the road will look as ludicrous a disco fashion look to u . they be permanently damage their leg tendon from wear high heel . they celebrate anorexia . this be a depiction of a slice of the real world and of course . while it be possible that most of these woman be not smart enough to do science or engineering or real work and surely some of them be and it a sad waste of human resource that they spend their time in this oppressive and oppress career . to a large degree and this movie celebrate this waste . although our protagonist and at the end and leave the fashion industry to do real journalism and the movie maker obviously adore the fashion industry and do not lampoon it at all . they take it as serious a the ludicrous and misogynist wouldevils in the industry take it . for me and watch this be like watch a movie about faith healing that take it deadly seriously . what a bunch of idiots think about some delusion be interest only if the filmmaker and audience be also aware that it be delusion . certainly the film be workmanlike in technique . there be no shadow from boom mike or inaudible dialog . and yes and meryl streep be fine a the understated bos from hell . but if this be the best hollywood can do offer strong female role and that just tragic for u all .
