Last Christmas (去年聖誕節) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. The supporting cast include Michelle Yeoh and Emma Thompson. The movie was based on the famous song of the same name originally performed by Wham. Andrew Ridgeley of Wham also makes a cameo appearance.
Kate is a choir signer in her native Yugoslavia, the Croatia part. The family immigrated London and Kate works as an elf in a year round Christmas store while auditioning for parts. However, Kate seems to have a self destructive bend and fails all of her auditions. Estranged from her parents, she moves around from friend to friend to spend her nights. Kate than meets Tom Webster one night and they keep bumping into each other. Eventually they strike up a friendship and that leads to a little more. Eventually, there's a love connection. But there are always complications to the connection. Kate in the meantime runs out of places to stay and goes home at Tom's urging. At home, she has to mend relationships with her Mom and Sister. Can Kate get her act together to find purpose in life and love?
This movie was really sweat. I watched it with my teenage daughter whom loved it. I thought the story moved well and I wasn't bored at any point. The movie is not very long and gets through the story quite well. I felt warm and fuzzy as I watched with my daughter. It was also the first week of the California Quarantine and made the time go by fast. I also loved the Wham and George Michael inspired music throughout the film. It was a bit of the time machine.
I loved the extras and their Central London locations. Makes me want to visit London as it reminded me of some the alleyways of old Taipei. I highly recommend this film and have now put it down as one of my favorite 2019 films.
