First time I've seen this movie its a good movie sometimes the movie can be rather be disturbing in its depiction of modern youth and its display of violence but still its a masterpiece of cinema. malcolm mcdowell as alex the main character and narrator of the movie and is without a doubt the best thing about the movie. Also when I hear singing in the rain it would be hard not to remember some of what happens in that scene. Overall Brilliant movie

TV Season Rating
Season 4 of CBS's 'modern-day' take on Sherlock (and a gerder-flipped Watson), again set in the US of A instead on in London.

Each season so far has had it's main 'focus' (for want of a better word): Sherlock himself, Moriarty, Mycroft Holmes, Kitty.

This time, it's Sherlocks father - Morland Holmes - who is the main focus of the series as a whole.

Well, perhaps focus is too strong a word: what I should, instead, be saying, is that more than a few of the episodes involve him and his various shady dealings!

Straight off the bat, there is a whole lot to love about Last Night in Soho. It's a modern-London thriller with a dashing of supernatural horror. It's a modern horror with lashings of giallo. It's a giallo that is also a murder mystery. It bursting with colour, and has two exceptionally talented actors at it's helm.
I enjoy Anya Taylor-Joy in pretty much anything she's in, and the same applies here, stealing most of the scenes that she's in. Thomasin McKenzie is an infectiously likable protagonist, whether she's battling seedy-men ghosts, or the struggles of going to University in England (the scene near the beginning where she's stuck at a dorm party is a literal nightmare put straight onto the screen if you ask me). She's fantastic here as she was in Jojo Rabbit.
It boasts a strong supporting cast as well. Matt Smith plays a convincing shit-bag, and is quite clearly having a ball shouting in a cockney accent. It's always a pleasure to see Terence Stamp, and of course, Diana Rigg was one of the best in the game, and her performance here in her final role is testament to that.
LNIS is dripping with style, which is to be expected from Edgar Wright, but it's more subtle than a lot of his other works, substituting clever edits, cuts, and comedy for a film that's visual crack with a more serious tone. The vibrancy of its colour pallettes, both in the modern and 60s settings are as important as any character. Every frame feels like it's been lovingly poured over and is cinematic in every sense of the word. It also boasts a stellar soundtrack. I didn't realise how much I fucking love a bit of Cilla Black but here we are.
The only minor gripes I have is that it does drag ever so slightly during the final third. At one point it feels like a natural resolve is near, but then the narrative continues for a while longer before the twists and turns land. It also goes a little slasher-y at one point, which isn't necessarily an issue, but it feels a bit alien to the rest of the vibe (still manages to be a visually striking moment though!)

Overall though, Last Night in Soho is an incredibly engaging and enjoyable thriller, and is a proud addition to both Wright's filmography, and the modern resurgence of top quality horror.
