Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Cinemaboi — 31 Oct 2021
I mean, seriously? SPOILER: When we find out Diana Rigg was actually Anya Taylor-Joy, and that she had murdered dozens of her johns back in the day, Diana Rigg says "They deserved it." And Thomasin McKenzie just agrees. ... Really? Every man who ever paid for sex deserves to get their throat slit? Sex workers, do you agree with this?
The bigger problem was that we were (sort of) told that Thomasin McKenzie could do something about Anya Taylor-Joy's dreams getting flushed down the toilet. But she never could. So her trying to get Taylor-Joy's attention in all those dream sequences was straight up pointless. The movie started out super strong. Outstanding writing for the first half. Which made the second half feel extra long and meaningless.
