Review of Last Christmas (2019) by Jaysimpson — 10 Nov 2019

I can understand why some people don't like this movie but I personally really liked this movie. Let's get the negatives out of the way first: the first half of the movie is pretty dull and mediocre, the music doesn't always fit the scene, the comedy is more miss than hit and the movie is full of cliches.

These didn't bother me that much but they are noticeable. The positives on the other hand are: Emilia Clarke is fantastic as always and she has an amazing singing voice, the acting is really good, the "twist" of the movie was unexpected and very sad and effective, the song "last Christmas" is beautiful and the ending is heartfelt, sorrow and satisfying.

I really liked the twist and the final scenes of the movie. The movie is emotional and has great character moments, most of them are with Emilia's and Henry's characters. Yes it made me cry and I really like this movie.

In conclusion the first half is not that great but the second is better. I will definitely make this movie my own Christmas tradition in that I will watch it every Christmas.
