This is the first movie I've seen in theatres since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker back in 2019. I had forgotten how good the sound was. My seat would vibrate with the bass and the sound was all around me. Anyway, Last Night In Soho was really good.
The first half of the movie, while intriguing, is very slow. I felt like Edgar Wright was trying to do too much with the setup, and a whole lot could have been cut out without much of an impact on the rest of the movie. The first 45 minutes of the movie are completely about Ellie's aspirations to become a fashion designer, but as soon as she starts having the dreams, that story just ends. It was like I was watching two different movies. The second half of the movie was VERY good. I would say the movie jumped from a 5/10 to a 10/10 the moment Ellie had her second dream. Ellie no longer knows what's real anymore, and neither do I. I can't really say anything about the second half of the movie without spoiling it, so I'm just going to say that the second half of that movie was nearly perfect. There was a Strangers on a Train- type ending. They should have just left that out. Thomasin McKenzie (Ellie) is a really good actor and she did a great job in this role. I recognized her voice from JoJo Rabbit and was very impressed at how much she had changed to fit this role. To recap, the first part was average and without much direction, but the second half was golden. This movie is probably going on the top-5 list. 9.5/10
