Even on my most Ebenezer of days, I wouldn’t have been able to resist this sentimental journey.
Last Christmas does the job when it comes to creating a pleasant haze of warm feelings, offering a momentary respite from the cold, cynical world outside the movie theater.

Last Christmas. Take a second chance. A stunning, gorgeous and magical Christmas comedy starring the charming and funny Emilia Clarke. First of all, I also want to highlight the music, and it is the real legacy of the great George Michael. The atmosphere of Christmas in the film is conveyed perfectly, and this is the scenery and landscape views of the city. The chemistry between the characters Kate and Tom is also excellent. This is one of those films where each character is remembered and if, for example, you remove him, then the movie loses a piece of itself. There will be no spoiler, but this film literally hits you at some point with its unexpected turn and you are left in a pleasant shock from this, but then you realize that this very turn throughout the entire film was practically on the surface.

This is a movie about a girl named (Kate) who is lost in the world and doesn't know what to do with her life. Until she meets Tom by surprise and further on in the movie Kate feels different being around Tom and she feels like she is alive. She shares a very emotional story where her heart stopped working and that she needed a transplant. She reveals a very personal story that has affected her very badly but it is almost like Tom has made her feel **** further on in the movie she then finds out who is Tom. This is an extremely emotional film in the end but is funny and some parts of the movie may be a bit wierd at the start if watching with a family. Enjoy its a great movie to watch in Christmas.

If Last Christmas isn’t quite irresistible in its emotional moments and the cheesiest bits are borderline indigestible, its effervescence makes it a fun enough watch. At the very least, it’ll make you fall hard for its other romantic lead: London.
Last Christmas is about as buoyant as leftover eggnog. Clarke’s natural charm comes through — she looks ecstatic to be out of Westeros and playing a less upright character — but such a fleabag-screwup role feels better suited to a more comedic performer.
It's a misfire by just about any measure, but it earns some warm feelings for its determination not to be like anything else currently in circulation.
It might look the part, with the director Paul Feig successfully capturing the glossy, tourist-friendly London one would crave from such a film, but the script feels like a rejected first draft with unfunny filler one-liners and a scrappy, ill-thought through narrative. It’s a beautifully wrapped Christmas gift that’s filled with rotten turkey leftovers.
It makes sense that Last Christmas isn’t coming out at the end of December but right on the cusp of Thanksgiving. It’s a bona fide holiday-movie turkey.
Don't listen to what the know-it-all critics have to say. This is one of the best movies I have seen in the past several years. Extremely heart warming. While I was never a fan of George Michael, I absolutely loved how the words and music was woven into the script. I have never seen an episode of Game of Thrones, and was totally unfamiliar with the actors in this movie - maybe that was a good thing, as I avoided any prejudices other reviewers might have. But the connection between the two main actors, Kate and Tom, was powerful. Overall, the movie was quite moving, and that's what I'm looking for - something that gives me hope and inspiration.
I rented this movie on a whim - I did not watch the trailer, and I'm glad I didn't. I knew nothing about the plot, although now looking back after having watched this movie about 50 times (okay, actually I've only watched the last ten minutes probably 49 of those times!), I probably should have seen it coming. But I didn't. And it hit me harder than any other movie I've watched in recent memory. And every time I watch it, it still does.
This is not your typical Christmas movie. I wouldn't even describe it as a comedy. But it is true romance. Watch it and decide for yourself.

O filme tem muitos problemas de atuação, roteiro e também em aspectos mais técnicos. Porém, possui muito valor de entretenimento. A história apesar de genérica consegue cativar um pouco.

Emilia Clarke enchants with her bright smile as a woman who's sweetly struggling with her life. She works in a Christmas store, auditions for parts and goes from friend to family for a place to sleep. One day she meets an appealing man (Henry Golding) who helps her find herself. What seems like a sweet, but not especially special romantic comedy does manage to turn things around before it's over. Screenwriter Emma Thompson has fashioned a mildly cute comedy, but none of the characters are especially memorable (except her own role as the Hungarian mother). Director Paul Feig has kept it seasonably bright, but doesn't add much comic charm. While not without appeal (and a soundtrack featuring the songs of George Michael), this might warm hearts seeking a holiday trifle.

Amazing how many people still line up to see Christmas movies. This one is yet another of those so-called Christmas ‘holiday season ‘movies that are as much about Christmas as that Bonny Bouncing Bunny is to Easter. It’s somewhat of a ‘La La Land’ wanna-be, without the easygoing feel and charm that one at least offered. Some of the dialogue and situations are crass and the sleep-around, female ‘Christmas Elf’’, didn’t help whatsoever. This thankless girl is actually cared for – but does she deserve it? The sudden turn to being a supernatural feel good/bad fantasy surprise --was a bit of a difficult twist to take-- especially amongst all the rather superficial PC philosophising being shovelled around like the fake ‘santa’ snow in the gutters of ole London. The cast tried but with the sour- treacle script reaching for heights it didn’t quite earn, it was mostly uphill.
Maybe fine for the easily pleased or woke ‘idealists’. A movie based on a song, with other songs in the background that didn’t quite fit the subject.

"If you don't like this kind of film, you're cynical." Maybe, but I consider it delusional to take Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (1984) as a basis for a screenplay, and I have found nothing at all in the story written by Thompson with her husband that makes it plausible. If anything, each twist is a relaunch towards more presumptuous and unjustified ambitions. A graceless though successful film.
