The difference between the accommodating millennials, the Emilys, and the composed Gen Z assistant Amari, who confidently tells her boss 'you can't say that' really emphasizes the change in workplace dynamics. It gives the film a sense of real evolution instead of just a 'manufactured crisis.'


Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are so immersed in their characters that you don't even notice the actresses, you simply inhabit their world. Meryl's performance is at a masterclass level here; she subtly reveals a hint of 'childlike giddiness' during the Hamptons scenes, which was both subtle and brilliant, even while she remained icy towards Andy.


Lucy Liu was a fantastic addition as well. She didn't overshadow anyone, and her reveal as the 'mystery buyer' was a perfect 'mic-drop' moment.
