    Consistently entertaining

    What if Hitchcock an Dario Argento had a nephew that loved Agatha Christie novels? That's the premise of the film's aesthetics and I found especially the first half of the film to be really captivating. Anya Taylor Joy's first scene especially was really masterfully crafted. The leading actress was also impeccable.

    Nevertheless as the film's story built up steam for a climax, the choice of a particularly ugly CGI and some pointless jump-scares started putting me off. The writing became over the top by the end, but at least it all made sense eventually. Thankfully it maintained a steady coolness, with great music and solid acting, and beautiful costumes and scenery. While the nonsense put off some of my "film buff" friends, I found it consistently entertaining, and a fun time at the movies.

    I saw this at a late night screening, at Athens International Film Festival. The hour, the crowd and the vibe really helped the movie experience for me. I recommend it, if you don't get in with high expectations.

    I Liked the first half of the film very much, the second half it was not my thing.

    I understand what Edgar Wright tried to do, but I could not help but feel that this story would have been more intersting if it were less horror focused and more of a straightforward mystery with flashbacks.

    Enrapturing

    This movie had me hooked from the beginning. The vibe of the neon, eerily upbeat 60s music, and intense cinematography, is unmatched. Acting was decent and the storyline unpredictable (at least to me). A well made movie that haunts, not scares.

    Stylish psychological thriller. Final outing for the late, great Diana Rigg.

    Cornish fashion student Eloise moves into a room of an elderly lady's home, when she's there she's able to consciously move back to the 1960's, and see the life of a beautiful young woman.

    It took me a little time to get into it, and understand exactly what was going on, but overall, I thought this was a rather excellent film.

    It builds and changes pace as it progresses, moving from a suspense intrigue story, into a horror thriller conclusion. You'll need to be concentrating, or you'll miss what's going on.

    Diana Rigg, the legend, much missed, was the standout for me, (when wasn't she!) putting in a phenomenal performance, credit to Thomasin McKenzie too, she did a great job, the only person for me who was a little cringey at times, was Matt Smith, maybe not his finest moment.

    Two scenes stood out for me, the epic conclusion, loved that, some terrific acting, and as reveals go, this was big, and the scene in the library, that was really freaky.

    Beautifully stylish and atmospheric, if you love the 1960's as I do, you'll appreciate the fashions, you'll love the music, overall it's a visual feast.

    Highly recommended 8/10.

    Sandie Sure?

    I went on an Edgar Wright binge during lockdown, half just to see them again and half with an eye on the fact that "Last Night in Soho" was due out when the lockdown lifted. Though I generally would say that I liked the film, unfortunately I felt the conclusion let it down.

    Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) moves from Cornwall to London to become a fashion designer. Obsessed with 1960's culture, she struggles to make friends and leaves the halls of residence for a flat in a house owned by Ms Collins (Diana Rigg). On her first night, she dreams about Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy) a singer who came to Soho in the 1960's and who fell in with Jack (Matt Smith). As the dreams mix with reality, Eloise comes to question her sanity, what happened to Sandie and who the silver haired gentleman (Terence Stamp) hanging around the city might be.

    The stuff that I admired most about the film were related to the performances and to Edgar Wright's direction. There is some very clever work done during the dream/haunting sequences to relay that the characters of Eloise and Sandie are both living the same life and the Eloise is watching it from a distance. There's a dance scene, which is very cleverly choreographed so that both characters can dance with Jack without cutting away. Anya Taylor-Joy really can do anything and make it compelling but as a Giallo-esque femme fetale / victim she's at her most arresting. Smith is a convincing charming heavy though he doesn't feature in the film as much as the girls. Thomasin McKenzie carries an excellent Cornishy accent through the film, and keeps Eloise likable, even when she becomes overwhelmed.

    But... I'm not convinced that the story matches up with the talent elsewhere. I don't think the film makes as much sense as it thinks it does, in its conclusion. (Sorry if that sounds vague, bit I'm trying to write without spoilers). Its twist is relatively easy to see coming, though some of the dialogue details from earlier in the film hit differently once you know. I also don't think it's particularly scary, and the "ghosts" in the film aren't an especially well-done effect.

    Overall, I enjoyed my time with the film but I can't help and think of it as a missed opportunity for something truly special.

    • Trivia
      Final performance of Diana Rigg, who passed away on September 10, 2020. The film is dedicated to her memory. Her only child, actress Rachael Stirling, receives a "Special Thanks" in the end credits.
    • Goofs
      Large survey classes, like the one Ellie arrives at late, generally don't take attendance orally because calling roll for dozens of students would take up an inordinate amount of time which could be used for instruction.
    • Quotes

      Eloise: Has a woman ever died in my room?

      Ms Collins: This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city.

    • Crazy credits
      Before the film begins, it opens with a simple dedication: "For Diana". This is likely a dedication for the film's star, Diana Rigg, who died after shooting finished, but before the release of the film.
