The reason why she probably didn't try again at being famous was because she just went through a mentally and physically traumatic experience. The idea of her trying again would not make sense because there is a chance that she may go through that all over again with another man. When you are traumatized you fear almost everything.

I actually worked in London's Soho for 9 years. It's all true. It's grim. But I didn't do any murders. Ok one murder but that doesn't count. Keep up the fantastic work old chap. Update. I have not actually done a murder. Lol

My impression is that Sandy is still heavily romanticized by Ellie. Sandy doesn’t have to be a fully fleshed out character because Ellie is projecting her hope and dreams onto her. The “sudden turn” to murder might not truly be that sudden given we have such a limited knowledge of her background. The dreamy 60s London Ellie yearns for is slowly being pulled from her, with the last piece being this girl she projects her dreams and aspirations onto not being free of the horrors and seediness of London. Once she finally lets go of the image of Sandy as a sweet girl corrupted by the big city and evil men and as a villain herself, she’s able to move on from her obsession.

i have to disagree with the fashion line at the end, it doesn't make sense for Elouise to stop making 60's inspired garments especially since that was her style. The dresses themselves aren't the perfect period pieces we see her make and take heavy inspiration from the era yes but also has more modern elements. I thought of this representing how she still has a lot of love for the era however is now embracing modernity, looking less to the past but still being heavily inspired by it.

What’s blud yapping about

This movie did a great job of depicting shame, disassociation, and how important bodily autonomy is. I like that Ellie decides to sympathize with Sandie. She allows her to take accountability for her own choices but there is no question that she has no empathy for the men. It’s good to see the demand as the bad guy and not the supply

I think the fashion line was her keeping Sandy's legend alive. One last hurrah as a singer/dancer. That's at least what I saw it as.

Last Night in Soho definitely depends on the audience to understand the conceit of Giallo--the over-the-top story choices, the broad characters, the dramatic emotions, convenient turns, and metaphorical storytelling. I think it's ultimately a parable about fear and taking control of yourself. The movie is also purposefully subverting how most giallo murdered and brutalized women, with Sandy being the real murderer and also justifying (or not entirely vilifying) her actions. I think knowing Sandy better would have hurt that. It's definitely a vibes and aesthetic movie, more than anything else, but it does speak to a female experience, if a bit ham-handedly.

The biggest thing I want from any film is that to have an effective story everything has to tie together in some way... none of the elements in this movie were even close to each nevermind intertwined in some way. It felt like 6 writers took 20 minutes of the film each and wrote what they wanted. The choices the characters made were ridiculously over the top or are so far from reality its embarrassing how much it breaks the immersion. Kubrick knew about abstraction... modern filmmakers don't have anywhere near as much skill in this area Whatever the 'abstract' themes - essentially homeopathy for films - they were blown out completely by the feminism nuclear bomb that was dropped on the film, which at this point is cliched, trite, petty and can only sound like victimhood to my ears considering how long its been shoehorned into films and the fact that women are still whining about being born a women instead of being proud of it, its a poor excuse because they should be doing something about it instead of films preaching how amazing women are... Ironically, films in the 90's did ALOT more for women than any film after 2010 which is a train wreck of horrible female actors pretending to be 'fighting for the cause' stealing male franchises and categorically proving that... the originals were so much better. If I paid to watch this, I'd want a refund. by any objective standard of story writing, immersion, world building, character development and filmography, it fails in every category

It doesnt take much to look at the man hate driven films and realise that the correlation between good films and feminazi/man hating agenda's has absolutely no crossover. The fact that films are still being pushed with something that clearly destroys the art of film making and sends the actual cause of feminism back 30 years is totally counterproductive and makes women look incompetent beyond stupidity - reference: Female Ghostbusters On the issue of the visuals the sets were dressed ok but the lighting was blown out nearly the whole film. The colours used clashed instead of enhancing each other and the shots were conventional but mostly static. This created a very uninteresting aspect of the film because nothing was dynamic, which was strange for a horror film as there were no chase scenes or very little from what I remember, fights happened in one place which means the viewer doesnt have any idea of the topography of each scene and where places where in relation to each other. This means the world building doesnt even get off the ground, what world? I saw a street, a club, a room and nothing connected these areas in between. whether they had other connecting shots and didnt decide t use them, then its the editing at fault. hope that answers your question

Dude it’s about the tragic experiences women go through every day: attracting creeps, being viewed only as sex objects, and sacrificing your dignity to make it in the world. Not about how much “London sucks.” This a is genuine thriller movie, it’s alright if it’s not funny like Edgar Wright’s other movies.

A subtle little detail: The faceless dead guys aren't actually drifters and people that won't be missed. When Eloise is going through the microfiche looking for a story about a murder of a young woman, you can see very brief shots of tons of stories about men going missing. I think I saw a headline about a family looking for their missing dad? So they are regular guys who were missed. When she's looking through all the stories about the dead men, that's actually when their spirits are drawn to her, because she's skimming through the stories of all their deaths. It kind of paints them in a sympathetic light a little bit already, even before we find out they're trapped in the floorboards at the house. I don't know how I feel about a bunch of dudes who were paying for sex with a young woman who clearly loathed it and had an abusive pimp suddenly being potrayed as sympathetic... but it certainly uh.... subverted my expectations?

I had the impression that her mother's spirit was the bridge between the past and present. The visions were interpreted by Eloise, which was why some details were exaggerated and rosy, until she started to understand what really happened and violence overwhelmed her. Being drugged dropped the protective shield from the truth, and everything unraveled quickly from there. Eloise thought she saw Sandie get murdered, which was her own interpretation, and a bit of an underhanded thing for the Edgar to do. If the vision had been cut before we saw Jack slash Sandie, we would have been guilty of assuming the wrong thing as well, but that isn't how it was played. This wasn't a ghost story, it is a supernatural story about spirit guides and visions, with some trickery from the director to keep us from the twist. This movie was a slow burn for me. Just as I was getting fed up with the story and started to tune out, it got more intense. I didn't care too much for the twist, in part because I figured there was a link between Sandie and Ms. Collins early on. I recommended it to my wife, but I wouldn't watch it again by choice. Furthermore, I don't think the story is as tight as Edgar's other works.

Imagine going to venues where you know dodgy crowds frequent and then being surprised and calling the whole city bad.

Honestly, this movie spoke to me as a survivor a few times over. It feels like you could die inside when it happens. And think about the weapon of choice: she was "stabbed" multiple times. She also didn't have a "sudden change". She said she had died a hundred times before the murder. Just a couple of times have been enough to break a person. Dozens of times? A hundred times? It would be unrealistic if she hadn't snapped. I was able to get the help I needed, so I was able to move on. Sandy clearly wasn't able to get that help, especially in the 60s. It's why the term Survivor is such a big deal. Just because a person still walks and breathes doesn't mean they're really alive inside. Those types of events can control so much, making it hard to leave it behind and leaving you feeling dead inside. But to be able to break away from what happened, to not let it control you and to still live your best life, that's a survivor.

The story seems to be more about obsession then growing as a person. Eloise was obsessed with the 60’s and Sandy being obsessed with being a singer. Eloise, instead of letting her obsession take over her life, uses her obsession to fulfill her dream. She’s making the brightest of her obsession instead of spiraling into depression. Sandy on the other hand never let go instead of trying again to become a star she uses the obsession to start killing. Elly isn’t letting her obsession take over her whole life she’s letting it stay but not in a negative way. The reason sandy didn’t continue her singing is because she blamed all men for not letting her become a star. She didn’t use her obsession to help her she just gave up her dream for her obsession instead of using her obsession for a positive way

It's not saying "London sucks", it's broader message is about sexism, and how we view harsher times in the 60's/70's with rose tinted glasses. Ellie experiences sexism and bullying in the present day, and thinks retreating to the 60's would be easier. Only to find out how much worse it was back then through Sandy.

I also think that the ending would've been better as a tragedy for Sandy - it would've been a realistic story and a good warning of the rose tinted glasses of glory. However, I don't mind Ellie's ending of combining her own aesthetics with that of the sixties, because despite all that she's seen, she hasn't given up on her dreams and has experienced things to handle them better. Her obsession with the sixties is part of her; it makes sense that a tragedy like Sandy's would root her more into her interests rather than veering her from them.

I think the reason that Eloise's power has her get further away in later scenes is because of what Sandy said about pretending that stuff was happening to someone else. At the beginning Sandy is confident in herself and present, meaning El was close by, but as things start getting seedier we see El getting farther away. That's my interpretation anyways

I know he absolutely didn't condone the actions of the people who took advantage of her, but suggesting it would have made more sense for Sandie to either stick it out (because everyone was doing it and she might have achieved her dream eventually...yikes) or just try again after having to murder her pimp was a weird take.

I kinda saw the ending as instead of her always wishing and yearning to be in the 60’s and being the past she was able to grow and move on and be her own person in the future and look at it for inspiration while also acknowledging what happened

For this movie, I'd say it's far from my favorite Edgar Wright film, but it really played with the viewer's perspective and offered just enough horror for me to feel somewhat relatively satisfied, but not at the same time.

I think in the last shot when Ellie sees Sandie in the mirror represents her obsession and liking in the 60s however unlike most of the scenes of Ellie seeing Sandie were both of them are in the past/60s, the scene in the last shot shows Sandie in mirror but she is in the present, implied that even though Ellie is still obsessed with the 60s she won't live in/the past anymore, and as a fashion designer she still likes to get ideas from the 60s and Sandie(and her mom) will always be a part of her and always encourage her.

Sandy said so herself, she died in that room many times. I think the whole thing is that she as the true Sandy is dead and the old woman is an empty husk of her, a living dead. Seeing as there are so many dead there is might cause Eli's powers with ghosts to increase so the whole it is like she was there thing could happen.

Fantastic film. I was incredibly impressed by the plot, visuals, and acting. Part mystery and part horror that also packs a lot of heart and character development in it. Great 60’s soundtrack and refreshing to have an upbeat ending for the heroine when so many horror films have bleak endings. Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie deliver powerful performances. Loved every minute of “Last Night In Soho”

Fun fact: Maître d is played by the twins who played Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter! The first scene with Anya in the reflection is an actual practical effect!

He ws trying to say that women are traumatized when they work as prostitutes and he is showing how Sandy took her fate in her hands and how badly she was hurt to get to the point to murder those men. ANd in the end the girl created a clothe line from the 60s to give justice to Sandy who lived her life haunted by her past. Sandy was Eloise's muse. She gave justice to Sandy in many ways and in the end she also made a clothe line inspired by the old Sandy, the confident Sandy, the one who was not yet broken. What didn't you understand exactly?

Not sure how FF missed this.

What I think is going on is what is known as the Stone Tape Theory. You know the old saying right? If these walls could talk oh the stories they could tell you? It's more or less all the negative energy trapped within the building itself that allowed the memories to play out. Look at places like the Trans-Allegheny lunatic asylum or Eastern State Pen. Two of the most well-documented haunted places in the US. It's the energy that is lingering within the walls that allows certain things to be played out. Much like a movie on an endless loop. Aside from both poltergeist activity and intelligent hauntings.

I hadn't heard of this theory beforehand, but Amanda the Jedi did mention it. Elle's bartending boss also said it when Elle asked of she believed in ghosts. I did find the nding odd when we find out Sandie is still alive, but I can see so many traumatic events just embedding themselves in that room. Elle being more sensitive to supernatural things only made it much stronger.

@@sadie9728 That his takeaway was "man bad" (or even "London bad") is a bit bizarre to me. There's definitely a patriarchy bad thing going on, but it's certainly not saying that all men are bad. Aside from there being 2 distinctly good men (one of whom is a promiscuous man, but still framed explicitly as good and beloved), to take the message as that is to stop looking for a message after the very top layer of the movie.

Appreciate your content.

Enjoyed this. Worth a watch.

Wanted to give this film a pass before but now that I watched this video I actually really am intrigued by the way these things are set up. This is a story about intergenerational trauma around gender based violence of men agains women.. it’s heavy handed but I think that’s somewhat Wright’s style

i feel like last night in soho is edgar write doing what he wanted, he wanted to make a horror movie and so he made one to his liking, hence why there was no real comedy that he does, he's always trying a different movie genre which is amazing

This is my fave channel ❤️

When my fiancé & I saw the trailer for this, we were so excited barely knowing anything about it based on the teaser. He & I kinda wished it stayed that way but when the official trailer came out, we were still hella excited & the movie did not disappoint 😊🖤

The message is to have confidence in your talents and ask the people around you who actually care about you for help when you need it. The people promising you the stars don't necessarily have your best interests in mind. The mirror part at the end I think is her saying goodbye to her muse. She still loves the 60s, but she's bringing it into the modern era instead of living in a 60s that never existed.

This movie, sounds like in theory, it should be flippin' amazing. The attempt to mix in a linear and the indirect storytelling, with the stunning visual filming and visual cues, this movie is great. Visually, with the sudden flashes to old town and more modern, it really is amazing. Last Night in Soho lacks execution, the story feels so inconsistent and almost unfinished. It starts strong, leads into such an astonishing mystery, with some thriller and horror elements mixed in. With the intense build up towards the end, the twist was actually brilliant. But it felt hollow. Like, it's the old lady this entire time. An age old trope, done to a false drop towards the end. Still, it was a great movie to watch if you dont think too much about the film.

You should absolutely check out the movie 'Pet', with Ksenia Solo and Domonic Monagan. Very under-rated and little-known film.

That sad that he assumes a film maker must stay in their comfort zone and can't try to evolve into other areas. Not everything Edgar makes has to be humorous. This was a great move into the Thriller territory. I have watched it several times so far.

I would love to see you do "Nobody sleeps in the woods tonight" 1 and 2 the 2nd one makes the first better retroactively

London is Very old. Population is very high and very dense. Conditions have historically been fairly grim. It is actually plausible that every building foundation older than 25 years old has had at least 1 death taken place within its parameters (or adjacent alleys and sidewalks)

She could also be a tactile psychic meaning needing to touch something which can play echos of the past and she was sleeping in the bed.That kinda makes sense.

Damn I got here early I didn’t notice lol. Great video man

I was so excited for this movie, avoided all spoilers and then paid the price of being let down terribly. The twist felt very foreseeable to me and missed the mark entirely, I would've greatly preferred the advertised story over what it ended up being. Ellie seeing the ghost of her mother was pointless besides being a red herring, and I greatly disliked how Ellies boyfriend was so painfully one dimensional that it gave me a sour aftertaste. there has been a trend in cinema, specifically "white" cinema that includes racially ambiguous, seldomly fully black characters with no depth or "negative" traits. Just like Ellies boyfriend, who was so unconditionally nice and supportive of anything Ellie did, that he ended up feeling entirely non-human. no actual person would look at all the insane things Ellie does and just.. be completely fine with it. Also, for me the biggest plot hole: the police guy makes an explicit point in telling Ellie that he knows where she lives, but then later on explains that he never managed to find Sandy/Alexandra, despite her name being on her front door or mailbox.

"White cinema that includes racially ambiguous, seldomly fully black characters with no depth or "negative" traits"? I've watched Wolfen, a 1981 movie staring many diverse characters, including many side characters which include a pretty big pool of characters? How do you feel about Asian cinema (who rarely includes anyone except Asian actors)? African cinema (no white actors at all), etc. ? Weird statement.

I agree. Because it leaves so much unexplained and it leaves a lot of holes within the plot too.

Awesome video! Pleeeeeeeeeease explain the Amazon series “Undone”. I think you’d like it.

i actually really liked the movies, and it becomes really interesting if you think of it more as, rather than london being basically hell, it's more of the environmental shock coming from her home with poeple she loved and cared for her, to a place that is cold and uncaring, which explains why it's hammered home so much, because from the main character's pov it is the worst place on earth. sandy's story is a cautionary tale of sorts, confirming the dangers and percieved inescapable climb to success that she fears, whilst her mom is the more optomistic but not naive side of her. when the film ends, she is guided with the knowledge she gained from two different persepectives on her situation, being able to prepare for the worst and be aware of the harsh nature of her goals, while not being drowned in the pessimisim and given the drive to keep going forward, both are equally important to her future, the good and the bad of what she and her environment are capable of

While it was heavy-handed, I definitely appreciate Wright's approach. As a woman, I've experienced a lot of unwanted attention from men just by existing within the same parameters. I thought that this movie spoke volumes regarding r*pe culture, depression, and obsession. I've heard lots of [cis/het] men make similar remarks that you did about this movie, but I'd like to hear what other people (not just cis/het men) have to say and how they felt.

It would be epic if you did Event Horizon (1997) legit the only movie to terrify me to the point that I still can’t watch it today.

I come to this channel for the great insights on movies I love, I stay for the Alan Partridge references. Jurassic Park!

Amazing video keep up the good work !

Anyone feel like this is a slasher film for women and that's what he's missing in this review? He's looking at this movie like it's anti-men, when it's about the violence women face in the city, which usually at the hands of men. Sandy tried to deal with her trauma, but obviously in a bad way. It was also about how things were not better in the "good old days", I mean you sort of got that, but you missed it in her fashion line. It's 60s INSPIRED, not purely 60s (which is what her original sketches were). It's totally different.

i think ellie became a better version and a better designer thanks to all the drama that she’s been through with the sandie visions and i think the end explained as ellie still visions sandie but in the cool image that she saw in the beginning without the trauma that sandie went through and this time it helped her in her actual life than destroying her like in the middle of the movie
