Why it’s HorroRated

Last Night in Soho is Edgar Wright's most personal film and his most formally controlled piece of horror. The mirror sequences are the best he's done and the 1960s setting is realized with the meticulous attention that distinguishes his work. Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie hold the two timelines together with equal commitment throughout.

Synopsis

Edgar Wright directs a psychological horror film with a more personal emotional register than his previous work. Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy anchor the dual narrative with equal command. The mirror sequences are the best he's done and the 1960s setting is realized with the meticulous attention that distinguishes his work.
