Just when we think the gush of Christmas commercials and specials are over, along comes LAST CHRISTMAS, and if ever there were a film that could enchant, this is one that does. Written by Emma Thompson (who also plays a significant role in the movie) and Greg Wise with screenplay adaptation aided by Bryony Kimmings, the film seems a bit of fluff, overly decorated, until the messages begin to sink in. And by the end the film is elevating, thanks to some fine acting and direction. George Michael's music plays a primary role, also.

Katrina/Kate (Emilia Clarke) is a young woman subscribed to bad decisions. Working as an elf in a year round Christmas store owned by 'Santa' (Michele Yeoh) is not good for the wannabe singer. However, there she meets Tom (Henry Golding), a kind-hearted man with a mysterious past who challenges her cynical worldview. Kate slowly comes to realize that Tom is 'significant' and her life takes a new turn. For Kate, it seems too good to be true. Completing the entourage is Kate's Yugoslavian immigrant family - mother Petra (Emma Thompson), father Ivan (Boris Isakovic) and sister Marta (Lydia Leonard) - each with conflicts and problems of their own. It all comes together with a discovery (one that should not be shared) and the grand finale at the homeless sanctuary is rich in honest goodwill - 'helping each other.'

This is a feel good movie, well acted, and one that can be uplifting - if you've a mind to be uplifted!

I liked the fact that this wasn't your typical overly saccharine Christmas romcom. Some light and quirky comedy bits well placed within a heartfelt and mature storyline that doesn't try to go too deep. The result is a good little watch that makes you feel improved slightly for having seen it.

I really want to say I liked Last Christmas - Henry Golding is disarmingly charming, the happiness is helping other people message is sweet. This is how a Christmas film should be....you laugh, cry, laugh some more ...with a theatre full of strangers who are doing exactly the same. Not ashamed to say I loved it.

Surprisingly good was expecting a cheesy rom/com holiday film. But instead the Movie make you look up and appreciate what you have in life 😊

Last Christmas tells us an interesting story.Kate has a lot of troubles: she had an audition, arrived late and failed: at home her relationship with her depressive mother is quite tense.She works in a Christmas shop and there was a burglary .Then appears a man, Tom, who wants to speak with her, who has a walk with her,who comforts her.Later in the film the spectator will understand who is really Tom.Because of these facts Last Christmas is different Christmas film. I enjoyed very the performances of Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding.

I loved it! A very sweet (and different) story. It pulled me in enough that I got invested in the characters, which allowed me to laugh and cry (a few times) at the end. It's movie that, if you allow it to, makes you think - and appreciate. I loved it!

Yugoslavia in 1999? Did not exist. I am from Serbia and I agree with fellow croatian who said it is very much confusing and why did they escape from Croatia 1999? How strange. Anyway the movie is cute and christmasy so why not enjoy in it.

I am absolutely shocked how the production failed in the first scene of the movie. Yugoslavia in 1999 - historically ABSOLUTELY WRONG. They show kids singing in a choir in a church in ENGLISH - churches in this part of Europe do not look like that, there is no such choires with the same uniforms of that kind. Emma Thompson speaking Croatian is just speaking jibberish. The whole story is irrelevant for the story but they failed tremendeously. At least they could have hired someone from Croatia to help them produce this movie.

The real mystery is not the plot twist. The real mystery is, what happened to our expectations about movies to make so many people think they can easily find a "better" X-mas movie somewhere else, making it OK to give this one a low rating? For the last few decades, some 95% of all the X-mas movies produced have come from Canada, using basically the same actors and writers, and they do not even come close to this one. This is a real movie that engages and holds the attention, with real talent both in front of and behind the camera. Cmon people, follow the example of the main character in LAST XMAS, grow up.

I don't know if it's because I had no expectations but I found this movie fun and enjoyable and there's also a surprise ending. It definitely stands out from the generic cheesy romance movies and is a really good Chrismas movie to watch.

Actually what you listened to ... last christmas! This may be the one song that is equally loved and hated! And the hate is not even its fault ... it comes from the fact that you can hear it year after year ... sometimes months before ... well Christmas time.

So the movie is based on the song ... or takes the song and makes a movie out of it. But that is not all ... it also takes more songs of Wham/George Michael (I think he even wrote one especially for the movie? I may be wrong about that) and incorporates them into the movie. For better or worse that is ... I love the songs but as with Last Christmas there may be people who are not too fond of them.

Also this is a romantic comedy ... what do you expect to happen here? Still the charisma especially from our ... GoT star Emilia Clarke is phenomenal ... she is so lovely and cute ... how can you not love her? Add an amazing supporting cast all around ... and that music/soundtrack ... well you sort of have a winner here ... if you are into this kind of thing.

For a start, a movie is not as bad as a movie, but there are many uncertainties and imperfections in it. First of all, it says at the beginning - Yugoslavia 1999 ... OK, but then it is the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) made up only of Serbia and Montenegro that existed until 2003 and the only war that could be escaped then was the bombing of the NATO alliance, though, I can safely say that those who were running away were very, very rare... Secondly, swearing at the dining table in the family circle is simply not acceptable to any Balkan family (I take into account here that the film refers to the SFRY in spite of the stated year) and especially not to such swearing that was said in the film! Third, Petra as a middle-aged woman speaks worse in her native language than her daughter (Kate), who went to live in another country as a teenager. Really?! They should have asked Boris first to explain to them all about the Balkan culture and language... Overall, the movie is not bad at all, to someone who does not know the culture and language of the country being talked about, and despite the imperfections, it has my warm recommendation.

Beyond my expectation. Now I know why it's called "last christmas" because of its lyrics. A feels movie. Boy meets girl vibe with christmas spirit. Good twist tho.

I must admit, I was pleasently suprised after seeing the film. Had read some really negative reviews about this one.

Emilla Clarke and Henry Golding wins my heart in this one.

The story is simple yet very unusual. Kate(Emilla Clarke) is young woman who is known for her bad decision. She meets a mysterious man Tom(Henry Golding) who brings out the best in her.

But the movie takes a turn. Tom is not what Kate thinks he is.

What I liked about the movie is the simplicity and some of the tiny details I saw i this movie. The script is funny and touching at the same time. Cinematography is excellent. You will fall in love with London and the night cinematography is absoultely beautiful. Music compeltely gels with the visuals and story.

The story and its execution would make you emotional, some people like me would even have tears in the eyes.

Its's a really really well made movie and surely very underrated.

What a sweet holiday movie! I like the little twist in the movie. I also love the message in the movie... helping each other.

I was almost not going to see this movie because of the rating! I'm so glad I decided to give it a go because I would've regretted it. This movie is great and I dont even like Christmas romance comedies! It wasnt overly sappy and filled with sex scenes like the regular theater movies and even with people spoiling the "plot twist" it was still well worth the watch! The storyline is very simple but nothing wrong with a little simplicity. Not all movies should be unpredictable. Predictable doesn't mean unsatisfying. I find the more UNpredictable the movie, the less satisfying because who wants to watch a whole bunch of random scenarios happen in one movie? Not this girl. That would be wAY too much.

Some parts of this movie are pretty awful and some parts are quite good. The good thing is because of the surprising twist ending it doesn't feel like a typical Hallmark style Christmas romance. It was actually quite moving. Emma Thompson acts quite well as the Yugoslavian immigrant.

Some of the dialogue is too fast and many of the jokes fall flat. The way Michelle Yeoh's character acts is painful at times. Luckily Emilia Clarke is winsome enough to smooth over the rough edges. And she and Henry Golding have a good rapport. There is an anti Brexit message. And a very diverse cast racially and by sexual orientation. The George Michael song sounds quite good too.

Yugoslavia 1999? Really?? Is it hard to do just five minutes of research before making a movie? Pathetic... Movie plot is more less ok, but I am sick of this stupid mistakes and I'm giving 1/10.

Is there a plot-hole? I'm not sure whether there it is or not. I see just a something like delusional vision or imagination, or even a miracle. But above that all, I like Kate's slice of life that shows us a moral value about being a good person is a good thing. Rom-com movie that shows us an easy-to-follow plot and a bit entertaining.
