Last Night In Soho (2021)

An 18 year old girl (Thomasin McKenzie) is an aspiring fashion designer and obsessed with the 1960s fashion and music. Raised by her grandmother (Rita Tushingham), she leaves home and moves to London to study fashion. When she begins moving back and forth in time from the present to the 1960s where she becomes involved with an aspiring singer (Anya Taylor Joy), does she have second sight or is she going batshit crazy? Directed by Edgar Wright (BABY DRIVER), this is a first rate psychological horror film. Wright keeps us off balance so we don't know where we're headed before wrapping it all up in a satisfying package. This is one incredible looking film. Cinematographer Chung Chung Hoon (STOKER) bathes the film in bright neon colors while the soundtrack is chock full of 60s songs. Wright creates a perfect ambience of nostalgia which soon turns into a nightmare. He keeps the 1960s connection by the casting of three 60s icons: Rita Tushingham, Terence Stamp and in her final film role, Diana Rigg in a wonderful swan song performance. Granted, it's all style over substance but when the style is this good, it's justified. With Matt Smith, Michael Ajao and Margaret Nolan (GOLDFINGER), also in her final movie role.
