Last Night in Soho

this audaciously original time-traveling thriller - with a plot too complicated and twisted to explain in a few sentences - wasn't exactly a crowd-pleasing hit. But please do yourselves a favor and stream it soon.

It's a bit too ghoul-heavy in its final stretch, but overall, this is an exhilarating, inventive blast of the past.

None of these questions get satisfactory answers. Still, most viewers will be won over by the film's sheer pop energy, which often suggests less a horror-thriller than an upbeat teen movie.

It gets a bit creepy, but take advantage of it being in theaters...

Effective in a certain sort of way, but I'm not sure it took me all the way home.

Wright warns against idealizing an era just as ripe with rot and degradation as the present, but his point also has more nuance than pointing out the obvious failings of a less enlightened time.

Regardless of some questionable narrative choices, the pure spectacle of Last Night in Soho may well have audiences wanting to go downtown in Swinging London.

If Last Night In Soho is not Edgar Wright’s finest moment as a director, it is a fine advert for his obvious qualities as a filmmaker, with the slow build-up of action creating an undercurrent of tension and showing his appreciation for the horror genre.

Last Night in Soho is part psychological thriller, part coming-of-age story, part terrifying horror film with timely social commentary, and part ode to a specific time and place that lives within many of us.

The build-up toward these climax hints at catastrophe, both for the characters involved and the narrative itself.
