The plot: An aspiring fashion designer is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s, where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer. However, the glamour is not all it appears to be, and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.
Last Night in Soho was surprisingly good.
Pros: The main plot for this film was very different. Both Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy did the most incredible work in this film. It keeps your attention throughout and the look and set designs are amazing. And also the soundtrack is very good.
Cons: At times it can get scary. You have to be patient with this film as the pacing can be a bit jumpy and it would be easy to miss out on the key details of this film.
