La Hacienda (2009)

A movie that brings Indian culture with classic Bollywood themes and electronic dance music.

My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.

The Delgado family becomes trapped in their house by an unknown force and it takes them years to realize what has happened.

A masterful portrayal of a long-forgotten story that needs to be told.

Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.
