Last Night in Soho

Rent & Buy
A young girl, passionate about fashion design, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to be falling apart with shady consequences.
What critics thought
Edgar Wright's love letter to 1960s London lands with genuine style — the cinematography, production design, and costumes drew near-universal admiration — but critics split sharply over whether the film's second half earns the promise of its dazzling opening. Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy are frequently singled out as the film's strongest assets, even by reviewers who found the script thin and the horror mechanics formulaic.
“a riotous, rascally hybrid of a thing: part glittering love-letter to the disreputable nightlife district in which it takes place, part darting psychological thriller that rips up the letter as soon as it's written before tearfully torching the scraps”
Robbie Collin·The Daily Telegraph
“Wright's particular affections for B-movies, British Invasion pop and a fast-fading pocket of urban London may be written all over the film, but they aren't compellingly written into it, ultimately swamping the thin supernatural sleuth story at its heart”
Guy Lodge·Variety
“perhaps the film's thematic intentions are noble. But its execution is glib, never finding the right balance between compassion and leering.”
Richard Lawson·Vanity Fair
“While neither of their characters gets enough depth, McKenzie and Taylor-Joy sustain Last Night in Soho, a movie filled with reflections to both past fiction horrors ... and today's #MeToo terrors”
