Coming in at #3 on @thestreamable’s Top 7 Drama Movies streaming right now, right behind The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Testament of Ann Lee.

High fashion. Shaker convulsive praise dances. And Edie Falco as a mom just trying to hold her family together. Iconic company, honestly. 🎬

Streaming on Peacock, go see what the fuss is about.
