My Take
Aline Brosh McKenna is one of those screenwriters whose name I trust on a poster. The Devil Wears Prada and 27 Dresses could have been throwaway comedies, but she gave them wit and real emotional stakes about ambition and womanhood. Harvard-educated yet never precious about it, she pours her intelligence straight into mainstream entertainment, which I find admirable. Writers rarely get the spotlight, but a single line of hers can make an audience laugh and ache at once. I consider her a quiet master of the genre, and I am always curious what story she will shape next.
