First of all, I'm only just playing catchup with a lot of 2021's releases, and despite knowing that I'm always going to get cinema gold from Edgar Wright, my immediate thoughts while watching this was that I had sat on this gem way longer than I should have.

​

To say this up to the usual standard that we have come to expect from the director of SHAUN OF THE DEAD & BABY DRIVER would only be selling

this film short, as I was floored not only by switch in tone that Wright is largely known for (with a wonderful script by Kristy Wilson-Cairns), but the techinical prowess and in-camera effects are good enough to make Busby Berkeley blush!

Now I don't want to say too much about the film, as this is really one that NEEDS to be seen with as little information going in as possible, but I will say that the central performances from Thomasin McKenzie (JOJO RABBIT) & Anya Taylor-Joy (THE QUEENS GAMBIT) are as mesmerising as the dazzling camera work, and the dreamy soundtrack, which is littered with an inspired selection of 60s pop that seemingly capture the spirit of both eras in which the story spends its time in.

Bold statement time... I think LAST NIGHT IN SOHO may well be Edgar Wright's best film. Not a claim I make lightly. It's THAT good! Watch it on a BIG screen and with the best sound system possible. And if you must,  WATCH TRAILER here.
