Last Christmas

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.

Last 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.

Last Christmas review

Emilia Clarke's winning, wince-making romcom goes down as sweetly as an Advocaat snowball.

Emma 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.

Everything about this Xmas-themed, George Michael-soundtracked rom-com seems great on paper. Absolutely nothing works on screen.

Last 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.

This festive cinematic tribute to George Michael is "misjudged" and "nauseatingly sweet and sour simultaneously".

Last 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.

Last Christmas review

Emilia Clarke lifts a warm and enjoyable festive movie.
