Last Christmas review
Whilst George Michael's music isn't incorporated as effectively as one might wish, Emma Thompson and co-writer Bryony Kimmings take inspiration from the titular song for arguably the most telegraphed ending you'll see all year. Still, the 'good will to all' theme ensures that Last Christmas, for all its syrupy stylings, has its heart in the right place.

Yahoo, 10th November 2019Last Christmas review
Like a mug of eggnog dosed with a slug of gin, this mostly fizzy Christmas rom-com delivers its cosy message with a side order of cynicism.

Emilia Clarke's winning, wince-making romcom goes down as sweetly as an Advocaat snowball.
The Telegraph, 7th November 2019Emma Thompson's romcom is an overstuffed turkey
An attempt to pay tribute to the music of George Michael and the fandom of Love Actually fails on both counts and at many more things along the way.
Benjamin Lee, The Guardian, 6th November 2019Last Christmas review
Everything about this Xmas-themed, George Michael-soundtracked rom-com seems great on paper. Absolutely nothing works on screen.
David Fear, Rolling Stone, 6th November 2019Last Christmas review
Last Christmas is a nostalgic rom-com that plays to Emilia Clarke's strengths. But when the actual romance fails, there's a problem.
David Crow, Den Of Geek, 6th November 2019This festive cinematic tribute to George Michael is "misjudged" and "nauseatingly sweet and sour simultaneously".
Nicholas Barber, BBC, 6th November 2019Last Christmas review
Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding are the appealing stars of a fairy-tale London romantic comedy that's too precious and contrived to take wing.
Variety, 6th November 2019Last Christmas review
