Director: Edgar Wright. Cast: Stars Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp. 116 min. Mystery/Horror.
- Edgar Wright can be considered a "fun" director. Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Baby Driver - all movies without much of a deep commentary, but with great technique ... and a helluva lot of fun. Last Night in Soho is no less.
- The story of a naïve English country-side girl who moves to London to study fashion design but somehow connects with her wannabe persona in the sleazy 60's underworld, contains incredibly entertaining moments of visual narration (especially during an opening act dance scene where she switches bodies with her other self), and ends in blood and horror - all and all a fun movie experience. Even the numerous ghost hauntings (although repetitive) are an element to enjoy.
- Diana Rigg, the Bond Girl mainly famous for her more recent turn as old Lady Tyrell in Game of Thrones, has her final screen presence here.
- Anya Taylor-Joy again demonstrates her unbelievable star power. She's come a long way in a short timespan - her potential predicted 6 years ago here by yours truly, during her very first year in the business. And soon she'll be Furiosa in the Mad Max movies. Can't wait.
