Review of Last Night in Soho (2021) by Rozeminho — 01 Nov 2022

Last Night in Soho is a departure from Edgar Wright's usual work, as he explores the perils of show-biz for women, and confronts us with the turmoil that often follows. He opts for the supernatural over genre satires that have gained him cult status.

There may be more ghouls than laughs, but Wright retains the nostalgic pop energy we love to see in his films. Just as we're starting to think the ghosts and psychosis are becoming too much, Wright's eccentric visuals sucks us back into the story.

Great performances all round, especially from star in the making Thomasin McKenzie and the consistently brilliant Anya Taylor-Joy. Last Night in Soho is definitely not a film to sleep on.
