Tanggapan

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes sampled 240 critics and judged 74% of the reviews to be positive, with an average rating of 6.80/10. The site states "Although it struggles to maintain its thrilling early momentum, Last Night in Soho shows flashes of Edgar Wright at his most stylish and ambitious."^[16] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 54 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".^[17] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it a 73% positive score, with 56% saying they would definitely recommend it.^[15]

Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film a score of 4/5 stars, describing it as "a riotous, rascally hybrid of a thing: part glittering love-letter to the disreputable nightlife district in which it takes place, part darting psychological thriller that rips up the letter as soon as it's written before tearfully torching the scraps".^[18] Xan Brooks of The Guardian gave the film 4/5 stars, describing it as "a gaudy time-travel romp that whisks its modern-day heroine to a bygone London that probably never existed outside our fevered cultural imagination", and called it "thoroughly silly and stupidly enjoyable".^[19] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "immensely pleasurable" and said that it "delights in playing with genre, morphing from time-travel fantasy to dark fairy tale, from mystery to nightmarish horror".^[20] Linda Marric of The Jewish Chronicle gave the film 4/5 stars, deeming it "a thrilling, gorgeously acted offering from a filmmaker who is at the top of his craft and knows exactly what he wants from his performers".^[21]

Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail gave the film a score of 2.5/4 stars, writing "Though visually sumptuous and a bunch of fun early on, Edgar Wright's take on sixties and seventies horror eventually devolves into unsatisfying spoof."^[22] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair was more critical of the film, describing it as a "clumsy horror pastiche" and writing "Perhaps the film's thematic intentions are noble. But its execution is glib, never finding the right balance between compassion and leering."^[23] Robert Daniels of RogerEbert.com gave the film a score of 1.5/4 stars, writing that it "is funny and chaotic, slick and stylish, and falls apart in its confounding second half".^[24] David Sims of The Atlantic wrote "While Wright remains exceptionally gifted at mashing up genres to create moments of real cinematic lightning, by and large, Last Night in Soho is all flash, no impact."^[25]

Analisis

Kemungkinan terburuk film ini bertalian dengan kutipan klasik Friedrich Nietzsche

Jeff Ewing dari Slash Film menyebut akhir film ini dapat dimaknai lewat dua kemungkinan, menyenangkan atau menyedihkan. Kemungkinan menyedihkan ini ialah bisa jadi bahwa ada secuil jejak Sandie yang masih ada di raga Ellie yang mungkin efek samping dari pengeluaran yang begitu lama terjalin dalam kehidupan dan trauma Sandie. Pemaknaan ini bertalian dengan kutipan klasik Friedrich Nietzsche:

“

"Dia yang bertarung dengan monster mungkin berhati-hati agar dia tidak menjadi monster. Dan ketika Anda menatap jauh ke dalam jurang, jurang itu juga menatap ke dalam dirimu."
