Wright's a bit hit-and-miss for me, but when he fully commits to mood and atmosphere, he can be a formidable director. I'm not a 60s fan (at all), still I loved everything he conjured up in Last Night in Soho. The styling is absolutely wonderful, the cast was great and the plot, though not particularly surprising, kept me glued to my seat. Don't go in expecting a full-blown horror flick, the film isn't all that scary and tense really, it just oozes and bleeds atmosphere from start to finish. Edgar Wright did good with this one.

A stylish horror/mystery carried by three outstanding actors and Wright's pointed direction. It's not the most special or unique film, but everything has a sense of purpose and the presentation is flawless. It's great genre cinema for a wide audience, a surprisingly rare combination.
Taylor-Joy is the poster star of the film, but McKenzie and Smith are equally impressive. The flashback scenes are alluring, the editing is majestic and the build-up towards the finale is slick. The ending may not be the strongest part of the film, but it doesn't disappoint and left me satisfied.
