Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Jeffrson — 10 Jan 2022

Bad rating because the movie is boring and not engaging. I think the movie does not deserve to be praised at 7.1. Are people more forgiving with bad movies since the cultural downfall of Hollywood? While watching, I just did not get what was the plot: is it a movie about her dead mother? or is it a movie about the main character's delusion? or is it a critic of "toxic masculinity"? Moreover, I don't really get the premise of the movie: as viewers, we should emotionnally be with the main character when she is happy and when she is scared but it doesn't work at all. Her greatest dream being London in the 60s, I don't even see how anyone can be nostalgic of that so I don't really care. Please compare this with the dream life explored in Midnight in Paris (2011) or Mulholland Drive (2001) to see how weak it is here. Her worst nightmare is old men fancying her youth... Well that's not really a nightmare since it is like that in real life anyway for most women, that's just life. Besides, it is like that in the main character's life as well (e.g. the cab driver). Therefore I don't feel anything for the main character because I just don't care about her passions.

Acting is great that's why I voted 4.
