This sequel isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about confronting reality. Meryl Streep noted that “for young women who pursue a career, it’s always been [the case that] ambition is seen as an unattractive quality in women.” This sentiment echoes throughout the film, making it relevant for today’s audience.
