Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller is full of twists and turns as it follows fashion student Eloise and her search for answers following mysterious visions.
Last Night in Soho is full of twists and turns, so much so that some aren’t as good as director Edgar Wright probably thought they were when he wrote the script. The film is set in two eras, the 1960s and the modern day, and it centers around fashion student Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) who can see ghosts and starts having visions of aspiring singer Sandie ( Anya Taylor-Joy) when she moves to London. Through her visions she learns of the dark fate that befell Sandie and becomes obsessed with discovering the truth, which makes for an incredibly thrilling storyline, at least it does until the film’s final plot twist. **WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Last Night in Soho ** Eloise is enamoured with Sandie’s life at first, wanting to be so much like her that she dyes her hair blonde and starts to dress like her, she even sleeps in the same bedroom Sandie used. But while everything seemed to be going perfectly for the singer in Soho, it quickly transpires that her love interest and manager Jack (played by Matt Smith) is a much crueller man than he first appeared. Jack is pimping Sandie out to every man in town, claiming she has to give out the sexual favors in order to have her career progress, and it turns out he’s been doing the same to countless women like her.
