Rolling Stone said of the time spanning cinema: The temptation is to wish that Wright had simply made a horror movie set in the Sixties, that he’d streamlined things a tad more and simply kept his revisionist look at the Carnaby-and-cocktails glamorous life in that bygone moment. But he’s after something a little bigger, and if Last Night in Soho comes across as being stuck in a tonal interzone, you have to admire how Wright is so intent on drawing a line between then and now. The way that a line like “such a lovely name” is turned into a mantra of sleaze and menace doesn’t stop at the Sixties. There is still a creepy predator around every big-city corner, and not just in London. A club like the Rialto may now be the Siam Blossom massage parlor, but both are selling something and one of them is far more honest about it. A certain strain of horribleness and exploitation are a constant, even in the center of the universe. Only the hemlines and lapel sizes have changed.

The cityscape of London brought tears to my eyes. The last time I visited the city was exactly two years ago. The last time I saw Edgar Wright was in Soho while he was filming. I miss London!????????— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) October 27, 2021
