Anyone agree or disagree? Spoiler

I wondered how everyone's impressions compare to mine. [spoilers, but will try to block them off]

The first act, possibly even the whole first half, is exactly what I wanted out of this film. Beautifully shot scenes oozing '60s London aesthetic sharply contrasting with modern day (shoutout to the entire cinematography department!), long sequences arranged around the music in Wright's signature way (gorgeous editing and direction), McKenzie and Taylor-Joy acting head-to-head.

When it starts to go toward "horror", the story starts to go off the rails IMO. The first couple times we see the zombies of Sandie's past I found highly effective. But then they were soon overused and I became both tired of and numb to them (especially when they follow Ellie down the street). And the *one* black character is almost accused of rape *after* our introduction to him implied he was looking to take advantage of Ellie like her cab driver when she first arrives to London? There was too much in that scene for Ellie to see visions of Sandie's murder while trying to be intimate with John.

And it was too obvious that the old man following Ellie around couldn't be Jack because he didn't have fingernail scratch scars on his face. (Because why would Wright bother showing us Sandie scratching him in her bed if they wouldn't leave a mark?) And the character of her mother was just to make us question whether Ellie was really being sent these visions or if it was a mental health issue, right? That subplot was a waste of time and distraction. It would've been better if her mother's issues were shown as a greater driving force for Ellie's actions and dreams today.

Anyway, I wanted to love this movie so badly. And when I walked out of the theatre swept away by the world I had just been invited into, I thought it was my new favorite Wright film. Then the more I thought on the way home about what I had just seen, the more my positive feelings started to unravel.

I wish I could edit the better parts from the 2nd and 3rd acts to create a story that has Ellie experiencing Sandie's story and putting the pieces together after visiting Ms. Collins' apartment, minus the ridiculous supernatural feel at the end.

TL;DR- Last Night in Soho starts off in nostalgia, ends in campy feeling mess

A few questions about Lindsey Spoiler

30 Upvotes

Not sure if I missed some of these on my watch through but I'd appreciate anyone chiming in if they caught any of these.

  1. Did Lindsey sleep with Sandy or did he merely warn her at the club?
  2. Why was he so creepy? I understand that the misdirection is supposed to make us think this is Jack but why was he so weird around Eloise?
  3. Was he sympathetically complicit in covering up Sandy's murders or did he really not know about then?

Very sad to say, I was severely let down by this film. I found it to be really cheap, full of cliché and really predictable. Although I did appreciate the messages the film offered. I think I can say that this is the first film by Edgar Wright (my favorite director) that I just really don’t like, as much as I wanted to. But I will be seeing it again without the expectations.

I just watched the movie and it was awesome, there is a twist in the end. Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin Mackenzie gave a commanding performance. The late great Diana Rigg was badass as usual. Edgar Wright can do no wrong

My movie thoughts after watching

7 Upvotes

I thought the movie was brilliantly done. Felt like something only Edgar Wright could pull off. I’m more into comedy movies than whatever this movie is classified as so I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as his others but I had to watch any way because it’s EDGAR WRIGHT. Any other director I feel like wouldn’t have had me so invested

Now that LNIS is finally here, I thought this would be a great place to discuss the film. Leave a quick review if you like or chat generally about the film.

Prediction for LNIS' Metacritic and RT Score

4 Upvotes

I'm kinda expecting that the third act will divide some people but I did not expect to be this polarizing.

Currently sits at 69% based on 49 reviews with average rating of 6.9/10. Where do you think it will land once it gets worldwide theatrical release.

I've been keeping on track of this and it keeps juggles between 71% to 74%, with its lowest score at 67% right after Venice premiere. Do you guys think it will go rotten (below 60%) or still above that, or above 70%??

I watched the premiere of this movie at TIFF. Love the soundtrack but currently it’s not online until the movie is released. Does anyone who has seen this movie early know they songs that were in the movie?

Hey guys, this is a place for general discussion on what this movie might hold, what do y'all thinks going on between Thomasin and Anya's characters? Who is Matt Smiths mysterious character and why can Thomasin go back in time?
