Read my spoiler-free movie review of Last Christmas (2019).

---

Michelle Yeoh, Emma Thompson, Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding are the stars of new comedy/romance Last Christmas, the latest from Spy (2015) and Bridesmaids (2011) director Paul Feig.

At the centre of the story is a Kate, a young woman subscribed to bad decisions. After accepting a job as Santa’s elf for a department store, Kate soon meets Tom there and her life takes a turn that seems too good to be true….

After realising the similarity between Clarke and her character Kate’s story, Last Christmas has become even more intriguing.

As such, I’ve now decided that I’m going to ignore the cheesy line that made me wince a little after 2:35 minutes into the above trailer and just look forward to Christmas. Reason being, that is precisely when the mood for a film just like this tends to hit me, HARD!

The fact that George Michael’s music will be featured quite heavily is a plus. There’s also the London, England setting, particularly my beloved Covent Garden.

Patti LuPone, Nasir Jama, Ingrid Oliver, Ansu Kabia, Sue Perkins, Lydia Leonard, Rebecca Root, David Mumeni, Helena Holmes and Jade Anouka also star.

Last Christmas Release Dates: November 8th, 2019 (US); November 15th, 2019 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving
