 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So this will be my spoiler free review for Edgar Wright's last night in Soho last night in Soho again is directed by Edgar right who also co-wrote the script along Along with Christie Wilson and it stars Thomas and McKenzie on a Taylor joy Matt Smith Tarrant stamp Michael Ayo Diana rig Rita touching him and Margaret Nolan so This movie revolves around Eloise who goes as Ellie portrayed by Thomas Thomas and McKenzie She is a student with a passion for fashion design and she also has this ability to see see go So I guess you can say she has the sixth sense She finds herself transported back in time to 1966 London in the body of an iconic nightclub singer of the era named Sandy While in Sandy's body Ellie begins a romantic relationship But she begins to realize that Sandy's life in the sweetened 60s is not as glamorous as it appears to be in Both past and present begin to fall apart with horrifying consequences now This movie has a lot to say about individuality so We learned very early on that Eloise is this aspiring fashion designer. She wants to go to London to go to school She feels like she has something to prove because of because of some other familial Trauma that she is dealing with also throughout the film and we see that she's very much reserved She doesn't seem to have that much. She has confidence that she can prove Something as relates to completing this education in London for her dream of being a fashion designer, but she's not very confident in terms of her Social social environments and she's very much to herself She doesn't really stand up for herself when faced with confrontation from individuals who are kind of stepping all over her in ways as we're shown throughout the film and then when she is Teleported essentially into this world of the 1960s with this Former night singer or nightclub singer Sandy who is portrayed brilliantly by Anya Taylor-Joy. It's just like a very a Very interesting contrast that unfolds throughout the film early on where we're seeing that Sandy has the confidence and the swagger and just all the stuff that Eloise wish she had she's confident. She knows how to she knows the moves. She needs to make to get what she wants and then You know early on after these dreams of hers. I'll just say start happening She starts dressing like her she starts trying to imitate her But then of course as the dreams progress and progress she learns that Sandy ended up in a very Dark place in London and she doesn't want to end up like Sandy and it's it turns into this very intriguing murder mystery along the way Edgar Wright does a very good job at setting you up with this protagonist who is very easy to get behind Eloise She is very sympathetic. She has again this trauma that she's dealing with me being a screen fan I would say she definitely has some Sydney Prescott vibes that I was really just into Right off the bat from learning what we did about the character very early on to just seen how it progressed and seen How she was seeing that reserveness and Thomas Thomas and Mackenzie of course embodying that soul so well in this role Thomas and Mackenzie. She is amazing here. She's very convincing there She's kind of plays the the same character in a lot of her roles But with here you see a different side of her acting chops when we started to dig deeper into the mentality of Eloise and this This mental deterioration that she starts to go on after digging even deeper into what happened to Sandy in the 60s Since she also has this obsession and this love and passion for the 60s She feels like the 60s were one of was one of the greatest eras in in history So of course knowing what happened to Sandy and learning what happened to Sandy that kind of course warps her perception of the 60s Even more tonight kind of like also a Reference to these old saying the grass is always greener on the other side. Everything is always how it appears to be on the surface So going back to Anya Taylor-Joy. She is breathtaking here She is mesmerizing as this nightclub singer named Sandy who was ultimately just mistreated in the 60s You do learn a lot of what happened and what went on the film's themes of abuse trauma and again Individuality they ring true while you're exploring what happened to Sandy and as you're seeing the progression of Eloise finding her own confidence throughout this trauma that she's not only dealing with on her own But then seeing the trauma that Sandy endured in the 60s. So Outside of that, you do have some amazing shots throughout this movie There are some of the use of the mirrors and the reflections and just the duality of it all the way everything is bleeding into each other Edgar Wright is just on his best. He's he's at his best in this film. I wouldn't say this is like his best work ever I am a big Sean the dead fan. I've seen his other movies like Scott Pilgrim versus the world and his other works But here he really just is tapping into the horror elements And he's doing it quite well I will say that some of them could have been more impactful in the sense that they weren't really that terrifying But I was still mesmerized and I found myself Teleported into the roaring 60s and just everything on your screen is just beautiful visually the cinematography the neon lightings of red green everything just these vibrant colors that really just hone in on Getting you as the viewer fixed in on all the events unfolding on your screen And then Steven Price's score kind of also transcends over certain things unfolding on your screen Amplifying them making you really feel the terror that Eloise feels at times because this movie does have some genuinely terrifying moments I would say that are again well executed. Thanks to Edgar Wright's brilliant direction and You just are this movie is a blast. I had a blast with this movie I wouldn't say it is the neatest in terms of the last act because there are some little tidbits of details that Happened throughout the first two acts that kind of let you know what happened to Sandy. What's actually going on here with between her and Eloise? You kind of get hints of that throughout the first two acts and I'll just I'll say that because I didn't really pick up on those Up until the third act came and we got those major twists now It's with these major twists that you okay while the twisters I would say adequate you you are at the same time kind of undoing a lot of the things that you're exploring about I would say toxic masculinity Generational trauma not generational trauma just trauma in general general when it relates to an individual and Just kind of undoing this kind of like feminist narrative that you're trying to Portray I would just say it's still overall a very well done film But towards the end it does kind of undo a lot of its own themes and certain character choices aren't that Believable either it's very bizarre how the movie decides to wrap itself up satisfying still captivating Hell of a good time, but just not the neatest not the neatest Edgar Wright again. He knocked it out of the park here I hope we see more of this from him in the future because just because I love this movie I'll give it a 7 out of 10 But if you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on postification in this video in the description I have links my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course Any movies news or views like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys, I will see you in the next video
