Last Night in Soho
{4.5/5} “London can be a lot.”
Last Night in Soho, released in 2021
Eloise gets accepted to college to study fashion design and moves to the big city of London. She’s not a big fan of her roommate and her friends who party all the time. She gets so fed up with them that she finds a room elsewhere. From her new room at night she can somehow transport into 1965, where she has a sort of alter ego who is an aspiring singer named Sandie. In turns out that Sandie used to live in the room that Eloise now lives in.
It’s a bit more disturbing than I usually watch, but it’s very well done. There are some intense moments.
The scenes where Eloise and Sandy see each other in the mirror — and switch between them while they’re dancing — are nicely done.
Stars Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Diana Rigg. Directed by Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). The soundtrack is full of great 60s songs.
