Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Tvjerry — 06 Nov 2021

Director Edgar Wright continues to expand his repertoire with this unique thriller. An innocent, aspiring fashion designer (Thomasin McKenzie) moves to London, where she’s somehow able to follow the life of another woman from the ‘60s (Anya Taylor-Joy).

The excitement of the period and place slowly gives way to creepy moments with a climax that’s dramatic but not especially powerful. The performances are enjoyable and the music adds fun. Wright keeps it interesting and adds masterful directorial touches.

It’s hard to create a surprise ending anymore and this one doesn’t really astonish or shock.
