Emma Simmonds
Writer/director Edgar Wright dives into the seamier side of London in this visually arresting psychological thriller, co-written with Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Past and present merge disconcertingly as 1960s-obsessed Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) moves from Cornwall to the capital to study fashion. After being driven out of student digs, she finds lodgings with the uncompromising Miss Collins (Diana Rigg, in her final performance), where she experiences visions of singer Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy) and the man with whom she's embroiled (Matt Smith). Taking us on an increasingly unsettling trip, Last Night in Soho offers its own spin on traditional horror tropes, where fairy tales become nightmares and misogyny fuels the monsters. The film is gloriously shot by The Handmaiden's Chung Chung-hoon, with Odile Dicks-Mireaux providing inspired costume design. The mystery elements feel a tad predictable but McKenzie and Taylor-Joy's performances make up in righteous fury what the film lacks in all-out scares.
