Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Lambo442 — 30 Oct 2021

We walked out 30 minutes in. The film was trying to mimic the work of David Lynch with its surrealness but was very unengaging with no direction or discernable plot. The Director is so obsessed with aesthetics and recreating an era, especially in terms of music, that many scenes just drag on while you watch people singing or dancing. It's all about spectacle. It's supposed to be a horror but the music is mostly upbeat with the occasional jump scares just shoe horned in there.

Nothing is explained, the lead actress is sappy and irritating. The film tries to create a sense of nostalgia for a time period that was only 50 years ago and you're supposed to believe its somehow better than the London of today. They just drive slower cars, dress differently and have different hair cuts. But the music was soooooo much better....
