Finally caught up with Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho. Superb cinematic production and art direction - I mean, extraordinary - meticulous set dressing, amazing Texas Switch cinematographic sequences - and really clunkily drawn characters. The man needs to stay behind the camera, keep his nose out of the script, and all will be well. Isn't a horror, though: it's a Hitchcock homage & 60s love-in, and that's plenty.

I'd still rate it pretty high, because what's good is very, very good. And it may be that, forewarned, you & WmA and anyone who reads this may be more forgiving of the characterisation than I was. I somewhat overexpect of Edgar Wright.
8/10, could have been 10/10

didn't like the looks of the trailer on the big screen ... stylishly vapid (the trailer, FWIW) ? Wrights done some great projects, and some not so great. I'll look forward to seeing this one on the small screen. Still haven't seen Baby Driver, which looks a bit more my speed. so to speak.
