Coraline meets Dario Argento, with good old Peeping Tom as the waiter
25 November 2021
Last Night in Soho shocked me, not because of the scary images or the psychological warfare, but for the complex style both in a filmmaking and emotional level like no film ever did in a very long time

To begin with the acting, my god... I mean even the vinyl is a wonderful actor.

Thomasin Mckenzie. From The Hobbit, Jojo Rabbit, Old and this, she absolutely is the big star and one wonderful young promise, her acting here is such as extraordinary as Timothee Chalamet in Dune, I mean she at least deserves an Oscar nomination with this one.

Anya Taylor-Joy, she´s becoming the ultimate Scream Queen of this generation and her performance in this film is gorgeous and mesmerizing, and also her singing, she is a hell of an actress

But discounting secondary and minor characters (The greatest being Terence Stamp impecable as always) I think the big surprise for this film is Diana Rigg (RIP), my childgood crush, when she died a bit of me died too, and I felt really worried that her ultimate role would be forgettable and lame, oh boy I was wrong.... Dear Diana, you flew to the stars on golden wings, her role is amazing, her acting is the finest she made since Game of Thrones and On Her Majesty Secret Service, (SPOILERS) by the end....she ate the whole movie, and It was such a catharsis to me to watch one of my favorite actress delivering a final performance at the highest top, at least go watch this movie for Diana.

The Style of this movie reminds me of Dario Argento, and the story is a steroid´s version of Coraline but much much MUCH more engaging and beautiful.

This film just played with me in such ways I swear I never felt so cathartic since I watched Joker on cinemas its a masterpiece.

Dune is the BEST film of 2021 But Last Night in Soho amazed me and became MY favorite film of 2021.
