Released in 2019, Last Christmas is a romantic comedy directed by Paul Feig, known for such hit films as The Gunslingers and Spy: Susan Cooper. With a screenplay co-written by Emma Thompson and Bryony Kimmings, the film stars Emilia Clarke, famous for her role in Game of Thrones, Henry Golding of Crazy Rich Asians, and Michelle Yeoh. The plot takes place in a fairytale London, decorated for the festive season, where the magic of Christmas plays an essential role.
Kate, played by Emilia Clarke, is going through a difficult time, marked by bad decisions. She's working in a Christmas store, disguised as an elf, when she meets Tom (Henry Golding). Tom seems to see much more in Kate than she lets on, offering a glimmer of hope in her gloomy life. As London lights up for the holidays, their unexpected encounter takes on a magical quality. Tom helps Kate rediscover the spirit of Christmas and open her heart, proving that sometimes all it takes is believing in magic to make miracles happen.
Last Christmas is aimed primarily at fans of romantic comedies and viewers seeking to immerse themselves in the festive spirit of Christmas. The film stands out for its warm atmosphere and its use of George Michael songs, including the famous eponymous "Last Christmas". The film is reminiscent of classics like Love Actually and Bridget Jones's Diary, with an extra touch of holiday magic. If you enjoyed those films, you'll probably enjoy Last Christmas for its blend of romance and bittersweet comedy.
Last Christmas is a romantic comedy that will warm hearts with its endearing characters and enchanting setting. Available on Prime Video from July 1, 2024, this film is an invitation to believe in the magic of Christmas and rediscover the pleasure of sharing tender moments. Whether you're a fan of Emilia Clarke or enjoy Paul Feig's films, Last Christmas promises a moving and entertaining cinematic experience.
Our review of Last Christmas (2019):
Last Christmas is the romantic comedy of this Christmas 2019 but beware, prepare the tissues! Emilia Clark, who we're used to seeing as a confident dominatrix in Game of Thrones, plays a young girl with an incredible lack of self-confidence who's been accumulating balls and losing control of her life ever since she recovered from a mysterious illness. As you'd expect from a film of this kind, an encounter changes everything and leads to major upheavals.
As its name suggests, Last Christmas takes us into the magical world of Christmas, where all miracles are possible, set to the music of George Michael.
In short, Paul Feig offers us a fair and moving film for a warm moment before the festive season.
