![]() His conquered the living dead with nothing more than unwanted vinyl records, alien invaders in small country towns and even managed to wrangle baby drivers but there's no doubt Last Night in Soho is beloved British director and critical darling Edgar Wright's most ambitious film yet and a film that doesn't always reach the lofty goals it sets for itself even if its a beautifully shot and unique thriller mixed with horror elements. In short, Edgar Wright's latest is amongst his weakest. The film does impress in bits n pieces, especially with its neon-bathed visuals, meticulous production design & clever camerawork, but it doesn't amount to a lot in the end. Overall, Last Night in Soho is visually striking and has no trouble whatsoever in transporting its viewers to a bygone era but it also runs out of ideas as it nears its conclusion and settles for an insipid ending.

As for the script, the writing is substandard at best and required more polish. The horror elements don't pack a thrilling punch either, offering nothing new or effective. Co-written & directed by Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim & Baby Driver), the first hour is carried out rather well with steady build-up and deft juggling of drama & mystery but the story also falls flat once it enters the third & final act. Last Night in Soho attempts to capture the dangers of romanticising the past while showcasing the dark side of show business only to throw it all away in the end.

Anything we should avoid packing or wearing? My style is constantly evolving, but I think it would fall into the category of the city girl with a touch of rock elements and some colourful pieces. How would you describe your personal style? Consider this your crash course in embracing la dolce vita. The Italians know fashion, so it only makes sense that when searching for inspiration for the summer, we’d want to go straight to the source.Īhead, we reached out to nine stylish Italian women from across the nation to have them share the staples they swear by, what trends they’re loving right now and what they'd pack for a trip to Italy. It’s why Italian luxury brands (hello, Prada, Versace, Bottega Veneta) hold such a prominent place in fashion, why we all dream of jetting off just for the chance to soak up the Tuscan sun, and why I've finished Stanley Tucci’s memoir in one sitting.
