I don't understand why the critics have been so harsh on this film - I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Yes, it's predictable, but what Christmas film isn't really?
With a wonderful central performance from the ever lovely Emilia Clarke and with good support from Emma Thompson, this is a wonderful film with a lovely message.
I would say give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.

I really want to say I liked Last Christmas - Henry Golding is disarmingly charming, the happiness is helping other people message is sweet. This is how a Christmas film should be....you laugh, cry, laugh some more ...with a theatre full of strangers who are doing exactly the same. Not ashamed to say I loved it.
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 😊
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!
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.

- TriviaFilmed on-location in London. In order to avoid crowds interrupting filming, many scenes started filming around 2 a.m.
- GoofsIn 1999, young Kate is shown singing in Yugoslavia, which civil war had been reduced by that time to consist of Serbia and Montenegro. Kate says her family was from Croatia and had to escape from the civil war in Yugoslavia. However, fighting in Croatian territory and in adjacent Bosnia-Herzegovina ended in 1995. The only war fought in 1999 was at Kosovo, a territory within Serbia.
- Crazy creditsAfter the traditional credits, the vintage Universal Studios logo with "The Entertainment Center of the World" and image, "When in Hollywood, visit Universal Studios" with a tourist trolley on a movie set. Also seen at the end of Galactica 1980 (1980), Starfighter (1984), and American College (1978). The latter added "When in Hollywood ask for Babs", a character in the movie.
