A solid Christmas tale at its core Last Christmas is a well-written show with innocence and chastity empowering it through and through. A very charming Emilia Clarke takes it upon herself to carry the film and she manages to hit a very deserving home run. Supporting characters do their job accordingly and professional performances earn credibility on that front. Having said the good things the story lacks practicality and believable factors and also, misses on more awe-inspiring moments.
Highs: Leading lady Emilia Clarke is brilliant. She holds the film together and her charisma is a big takeaway. The set design is breathtaking at certain scenes and London looks as pretty as it originally is during the Christmas season. The feel-good factor is used delicately and the script never relies on it too much.
Lows: The twist and the evident ending feels forced and by the end, I felt like the movie just satisfied the craving for a sticky Christmas pudding.
Rating: 3.5 ***/*
