Last Night in Soho

Last Night in Soho is now available on all platforms. Digital, 4K, Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

In Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller, Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie, Jojo Rabbit, Old), an aspiring fashion designer, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s, where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer, Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy, Emma, “The Queen’s Gambit”). But the glamour is not all it appears to be, and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.

“A stunning achievement of filmmaking” (LA Times), LAST NIGHT IN SOHO is filled to the brim with thrills, suspense and a love of classic film and music in every frame. Own the cinematic masterpiece for the first time, alongside exclusive bonus content, including never-before-seen deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes content and feature commentaries exploring the intoxicating nostalgia, flair and suspense.

No one creates visuals with popping color like Edgar Wright. His films always jump off the screen. Likewise his attention to detail when it comes to sound, music, and how they cohesively move with those visuals is next level.

I originally watched this film on a press screening link for award season. I enjoyed it then, but now seeing it as it was intended, in glorious 4K, I can seriously applaud the things that made the film come alive.

The story is cool and much different than my fave Wright film, Baby Driver. This one is fanciful with intriguing characters that walk in a gritty backdrop. Having a strong female lead character sets it apart as well. Great watch for sure.
