Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Thehatman — 17 Nov 2021

I'm biased regarding Edgar Wright seeing how I do love the Cornetto Trilogy and did enjoy Scott Pilgrim VS the World. However, hear me when I say that this film is absolutely fantastic. A very masterful and professional feature by Edgar Wright, even considering how the horror/drama genre is outside of his usual element.

The sound design, music, editing and cinematography were all fantastic. All the acting were executed greatly, with Thomasin McKenzie giving off an amazing performance. There are however a few flukes that can be distracting: there are a couple of jump scares, with one in particular being specifically lame.

The character of John is quite underdeveloped over all, while Jocasta's character is a bit cliché. One could also point out how personel within an emergency department probably wouldn't be able to arrive in just 2–3 minutes, especially since the main characters didn't even call the emergency number themselves.

But I personally didn't see these points as too damaging to an over all amazing feature. Do yourself a favor and watch this in theatres. The experience is one of the best since Avatar.
