Film Review: Last Night in Soho is beautifully detailed
Last Night in Soho: a thoroughly unsettling horror
Edgar Wright has a pretty eclectic CV – Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver – but nothing he’s directed to date compares with the audacious ambition of (16s). Effectively a modern fairytale in three very distinct acts, the story opens with aspiring fashion designer Ellie (Thomasin McKenzie) moving to London to study at the College of Fashion, where she starts to dream of herself – in the alter-ego of Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy) – living out her 1960s fantasy and experiencing at first-hand the music and fashion of Carnaby Street, Soho and the Fulham Road.Â
