Last Night in Soho (2021)

What a turn around, and what witchcraft is this?! After hating Edgar Wright's last three films (with a passion - especially Baby Driver) and rating him as a talent-less hack that got lucky off the back of the likeability of his stars over his first two films, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, just like Guy Ritchie did with Lock Stock and Snatch - also like Guy Ritchie with the unexpected triumph The Gentlemen, he emerged for no reason at all with one of my films of the year. 'Soho is a monumental leap up, an imaginative love letter to swinging sixties London-Horror hybrid, with stunning cinematography, an equally dazzling soundtrack and two leads to match - my favorite film released in 2021.
