Last Christmas: review
There were fine performances from Henry Golding and Emma Thompson (co-writer) as Kate's Yugoslavian mother. She delivered some of the best lines and was a wonderful breath of fresh air and vibrancy to the film. A disappointment and a big one at that was the relationship between Kate and Tom.
Tiemo Talk of the Town, 20th November 2019Last Christmas review - cliched festive failure
It seems fitting at this point to use one of the hoariest of film criticism cliches and say that this was a film that lingered long after I left the cinema. In this case, it lingered in the form of a tension headache caused by 103 minutes of mortified wincing.
Wendy Ide, The Observer, 17th November 2019Last Christmas review
Emilia Clarke shines brightly in this twinkly London rom-com.
BBC, 16th November 2019Last Christmas review
The attempt here is to make a contemporary rom-com, in the style of the beloved British hits Love Actually and Notting Hill but with the stars of today. As it turns out, Clarke has more chemistry with CGI dragons than Golding, who himself acts like he's only occupying time in London before the flight to Singapore to shoot the sequel to Crazy Rich Asians (a much worthier modern rom-com).
Musanna Ahmed, The Upcoming, 11th 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.
