Our opinion on Last Christmas (2019):
Last Christmas is the romantic comedy of Christmas 2019, but be warned, get your tissues ready! Emilia Clarke, whom we are used to seeing as a self-assured dominatrix in Game of Thrones, plays a young woman full of doubts, making mistakes and trying to rebuild her life after a mysterious illness. As is often the case in this type of film, an encounter turns everything upside down and leads to major changes.
As its name suggests, Last Christmas immerses us in the magical world of Christmas, where all miracles are possible, set to the music of George Michael. In short, Paul Feig delivers a heartfelt and moving film, perfect for a warm moment before the holiday season.
A magical and emotional romantic comedy, blending humor, tenderness, and hope, set in a London illuminated for Christmas.
