What happens

Last Night in Soho is a 2021 British psychological horror film directed and co-produced by Edgar Wright, and co-written by Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns. It stars Thomasin McKenzie as a naive teenager who moves to London to study fashion design; there she is haunted by visions of Sandie (played by Anya Taylor-Joy), a glamorous young woman who had lived during the Swinging Sixties. The cast also features Matt Smith, Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham, and Michael Ajao, with Diana Rigg and Margaret Nolan in their final film roles. Rigg and Nolan died in 2020, and the film is dedicated to their memories. Following its premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival on 4 September 2021, Last Night in Soho was released theatrically in the United Kingdom and the United States on 29 October 2021 by Universal Pictures and Focus Features, respectively. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its technical aspects, direction and performances, while its writing received some criticism (especially the ending). The film grossed $23 million worldwide on a budget of $43 million. The film was nominated for two BAFTA Film Awards, including Outstanding British Film and Best Sound. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
