Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Franzhcritic — 02 Nov 2021

I had high hopes given Edgar Wright's previous works. The performances and cinematography are the highlight of the film. The first three quarters is suspenseful and atmospheric, and keeps you guessing.

The climax and resolution ruined it for me. The twist was haphazard, and the moral message at the end. Diana Rigg turns out to have been Anya Taylor-Joy, and that she as a prostitute murdered scores of men just to deflect from her own poor choices in life.

The fact that Thomasin McKenzie's character accepts the justification for serial killing, leaves me wondering who Wright is pandering to. I feel like giving him the finger for that ending.
