7/10
something unexpected
2 October 2023
Last Christmas, a festive concoction that sprinkles rom-com charm with a dash of holiday magic. Emilia Clarke's performance is a delightful present, her quirky charisma lighting up the screen like a Christmas tree. The film editing unwraps the story with the precision of a well-timed holiday surprise, weaving humor and heart in a cozy winter tale. The strength lies in its ability to balance laughs and tears, capturing the essence of the holiday spirit. Weaknesses? Some may argue the plot twist is a bit predictable, but hey, who doesn't love a classic holiday feel-good formula? The music, a symphony of George Michael hits, is the mistletoe hanging over every scene, setting the perfect mood for Yuletide cheer. Cinematography blankets London in a warm, twinkling glow, making you wish you could step into the screen and join the festivities. The message? A reminder that sometimes, the best gifts come wrapped in unexpected packages. 7/10 is a cozy fireplace rating, a film that wraps you in the warmth of holiday joy, complete with a bow on top.
