Last Christmas, otra oportunidad para amar

I don't know if it's because I had no expectations but I found this movie fun and enjoyable and there's also a surprise ending. It definitely stands out from the generic cheesy romance movies and is a really good Chrismas movie to watch.

Kate/Katarina (Emilia Clarke) is an immigrant to Britain, with her family, coming after Yugoslavia broke up. Once singing in church, she longs to make it in musical theater. However, life has thrown her off track. Her mother (Emma Thompson) is overbearing, her sister is a successful lawyer with sharp disagreements with Kate, and our Katarina has health problems. So, now, Kate works at a year-round Christmas store, as an elf-saleslady under the direction of store owner, Santa (Michelle Yeoh). Its a living? Well, yes, but Kate has been couch surfing and has no permanent home but her parents house. One day she meets a handsome man on a bicycle, Tom (Henry Golding) who advises her to "look up". Its akin to stop and smelling the roses but Kate wants none of this gooey philosophy, at first. But, on subsequent encounters, Kate begins to notice things she's never seen before and to appreciate the friendship/love Tom has been offering. Can Tom change Kate's life for the good? This lovely new addition to the repertoire of Christmas cinema has a strong foundation in its script by Emma Thompson, a wonderful cast, lovely sets and costumes, and the eternally grand music of George Michael in its soundtrack. Be prepared for laughter and tears, as unexpected happenings keep arriving. But, in short, don't be last in line for Last Christmas!

Surprisingly good was expecting a cheesy rom/com holiday film. But instead the Movie make you look up and appreciate what you have in life 😊

Last Christmas tells us an interesting story.Kate has a lot of troubles: she had an audition, arrived late and failed: at home her relationship with her depressive mother is quite tense.She works in a Christmas shop and there was a burglary .Then appears a man, Tom, who wants to speak with her, who has a walk with her,who comforts her.Later in the film the spectator will understand who is really Tom.Because of these facts Last Christmas is different Christmas film. I enjoyed very the performances of Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding.

I liked the fact that this wasn't your typical overly saccharine Christmas romcom. Some light and quirky comedy bits well placed within a heartfelt and mature storyline that doesn't try to go too deep. The result is a good little watch that makes you feel improved slightly for having seen it.
