When her frustration and loneliness come to a peak, she somehow transports herself to her preferred era of the 1960s, where she sees the world through the eyes of Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy).

Recognition for Edgar Wright’s Filmmaking

Edgar Wright has received few awards for his films, even with his cult popularity. With his latest being his lowest-rated film from the critics, awards voters criminally passed over Last Night in Soho. Luckily, the occasional group recognizes Wright for his filmmaking, the most recent being the Hollywood Critics Association. This organization nominated Last Night in Soho in seven categories at its awards ceremony, and it ended up winning in Best Horror Film and Best Editing. Wright’s 2017 film, Baby Driver, also won Best Editing from the HCA in the first ceremony, when it was called the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society.
