Last Night in Soho is the best cinematic experience i have had in about 4 years. The picture is gorgeous, the soundtrack is great, and the acting is excellent. A tale of two women in two decades, their journeys intertwine through their hopes and dreams and ultimately unravel. A neo noir, supernatural, neon lit, coming of age, giallo infused slice of surrealism. It has everything that makes an Edgar Wright film excellent, his trade mark filmmaking techniques have never been better because he has never tackled a film this dark and whimsical before. For every moment of whimsy in the first act we are slapped in the face with tension and assault in the last two. The film attacks the viewer visually and mentally, it is viscerally jumping the senses. Part Room 104, part Suspiria, part Black Swan but purely a Wright film though and through. It is Edgar making art and showing how to craft film, his most visually striking film since Scott Pilgrim and his most daring film to date. The only thing that can top this film in 2021 might be from Wes Anderson, but i'll be seeing that later.
