If some aren't able to get pass the superficial aspect of her characters; mainly privileged and beautiful-- then I can understand how some would be turned off by their portrayal.

This is the most amusing defense I've read so far. Seriously. This is a fashion forum, and waht do we know about fashion? Most of the people in it are privileged and beautiful. What's the story of Hollywood through the years? Privileged and beautiful people who feel isolated. What's the story of many high society women through the centuries? Privileged and beautiful women who feel isolated.
I'm very fascinated with stories of privileged and beautiful people who feel lonely and isolated from Hollywood and high society. There are scores of stories to be found everywhere. It's not new. It was old when high society was at its height in America. It was old when Hollywood was being birthed. Sofia just doesn't tell it in a compelling way to me. And it has nothing to do with the wealth of her characters or their looks. (Again, Woody Allen's films take place in the same universe. Do I like dislike them?
No. So
please dearest defenders, stop implying I dislike her films because her characters are wealthy.)
