Left behind is [Wright's] trademark hyperactive editing and insistent post-modernism; in its place is flowing movement and intense emotion. Read full review

Last Night in Soho culminates as a chic and dynamic expression of Edgar Wright at the height of his powers. Read full review

Nothing in Wright’s previous work quite prepared me for Last Night in Soho, its easy seductiveness and spikes of sophistication. Dissolving the border between present and past, fact and fantasy, the director (aided by the euphoric talents of the cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung) has produced some of the most dazzling imagery of his career.

This visual and aural feast does have a stumble or two on the dance floor, though in the 11th hour, Wright manages to right the ship, with an assist from the ever-reliable Taylor-Joy. Read full review

There’s lots to like about Soho’s constituent parts, but not much time to genuinely savor any of them. Read full review

Polygon Jack King

This is certainly Edgar Wright at his Edgar Wright-iest, but even as he’s arguing against celebrating the past in Last Night in Soho, he’s celebrating it himself, in ways that are hard to escape, and at times, harder still to enjoy. Read full review

Depraved, delirious, and downright stupid, Last Night in Soho is two hours of amateurish drivel by B-movie director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead) that pretends to be half-retro Swingin’ Sixties comedy and half-horror thriller. Read full review

Para mi, la mejor película del año, te atrapa de manera alarmante desde el principio, te agarra con mayor fuerza con cada minuto transcurrido y cuando todo parece haberse solucionado te extrangula con sutileza y brutalidad a la vez.

However, hear me when I say that this film is absolutely fantastic. A very masterful and professional feature by Edgar Wright, even considering how the horror/drama genre is outside of his usual element. The sound design, music, editing and cinematography were all fantastic. All the acting were executed greatly, with Thomasin McKenzie giving off an amazing performance. There are however a few flukes that can be distracting: there are a couple of jump scares, with one in particular being specifically lame. The character of John is quite underdeveloped over all, while Jocasta's character is a bit cliché. One could also point out how personel within an emergency department probably wouldn't be able to arrive in just 2–3 minutes, especially since the main characters didn't even call the emergency number themselves. But I personally didn't see these points as too damaging to an over all amazing feature. Do yourself a favor and watch this in theatres. The experience is one of the best since Avatar. I'm giving this film a solid 9/10!… Expand

The movie has great music, is a bit too long but has a great ending, which i do not want to spoil! Edgar Wright has done better movies, but the design of the movie, including the music, is top notch als always! 7/10

Edgar zrobił ten film tylko po to, żeby przebierać Anye Taylor-Joy w zmysłowe ciuszki z lat 60. XX wieku

Edgard Wright has never been an actors director and fact that is clearly evident in this field with performances that would be more at home in Hollyoaks than on the silver screen. What does save it do is Soho, that is to say the beauty and dynamic way in which Edgar Wright captures the Soho of the past and present beautifully. Overall it felt like an ok film with a great film just bubbling under the surface.… Expand

We walked out 30 minutes in. The film was trying to mimic the work of David Lynch with its surrealness but was very unengaging with no direction or discernable plot.

The film was trying to mimic the work of David Lynch with its surrealness but was very unengaging with no direction or discernable plot. The Director is so obsessed with aesthetics and recreating an era, especially in terms of music, that many scenes just drag on while you watch people singing or dancing. It's all about spectacle. It's supposed to be a horror but the music is mostly upbeat with the occasional jump scares just shoe horned in there.
Nothing is explained, the lead actress is sappy and irritating. The film tries to create a sense of nostalgia for a time period that was only 50 years ago and you're supposed to believe its somehow better than the London of today. They just drive slower cars, dress differently and have different hair cuts. But the music was soooooo much better.... yawn… Expand
