Saw the film at the Athens International Film Festival.
Don’t worry, the title is not a spoiler, it’s just the vibes that I got from this movie.
Last Night in Soho is an absolute recommendation from me. Of course it would, it’s an Edgar Wright film. In Soho, Wright goes for the horror route with ambiguous success. The good thing is that the pros of Soho outweigh the cons but the bad thing is that the cons have everything to do with the plot of this movie that it’s full of inconsistencies, plot-holes and one dimensional characters. I won’t get into details here because that would mean spoiling the movie. But at least for me, my main gripe is that the movie couldn’t make me shut my brain and stop analyzing everything because the faults were that glaring.
But it’s Wright we are talking about here. Last Night in Soho has excellent directing and aesthetics, amazing lead performance by Thomasin McKenzie, amazing supporting performances by most of the supporting cast, excellent visual effects (some bad CGI), great soundtrack and although I’m skeptical by the ending, I was for sure engaged. It’s one of those movies that I need to see again, it has the potential for an 8/10. But for sure the movie is worthy of your money.
