This film is the proof that we can still come up with new ideas for movies in 2021. Last Night in Soho engages the viewer more and more as it progresses with its intriguing plot, while blessing our eyes with many beautiful shots of London. The acting by the whole cast was also wonderful, and definitely added up to the atmosphere that the movie creates.
Spoilers after this.
My boyfriend said that he got confused with the message that the movie is trying to convey after seeing that Sandy murdered basically everyone. However, I think it is the opposite. Let's say, if we saw Sandy dying and Eloise taking back her revenge by cooperating with the police etc., than all the characters would have been black and white. However, seeing that Sandy was able to not just defend herself but even attack back to her customers aggressively and violently adds depth to her character and the whole plot, making us question who was the victim. We can not fully blame Sandy, since she was put in many situations that she never wanted to be involved in. To me it feels even normal that a person at that position would have lost all her empathy. Yet, despite everything, did those men deserve to die? While we all saw them as horrifying ghosts trying to scare away Eloise throughout the movie, at the end we notice that they were actually just trying to ask for help. Although I would not be in favor of anything that they did, it is possible that they were doing what everyone thinks is normal back at the time- which was horrible to being with. This, in fact, I believe was another message that the movie is giving, that we should not fantasise about the past just because of the wonderful clothings.
