Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Ben1322 — 03 Nov 2021

Intricate, unique, creative, visually stunning yet falls short in the end. Performances were near flawless. Thomasin McKenzie and Anya-Taylor Joy duo made for an intriguing untraditional foil. Sets, visuals, music, feel all fall into place into a brilliant blend between the past 1960’s and present.

Tackled an interesting theme of the fallacy of the good old days. Not everything is as it seems when you look back. In a way, the film is simply the tragedy of a young aspiring woman, disguised in a horror action movie.

The film tries to intertwine genres together similar to Parasite, however, cheap jump scares devalue meaning from the story. The plot twist at the end attempts to tie all loose ends together, but simply fails in doing so.

The story slightly loses its realistic thematic arch and falls into a cliche fantasy mystery murder.
