Nothing seems to go right for young Kate, a frustrated Londoner who works as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. But things soon take a turn for the better when she meets Tom -- a handsome charmer who seems too good to be true. As the city transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, Tom and Kate's growing attraction turns into the best gift of all -- a Yuletide romance.

Critics Consensus

Likable leads, terrific behind-the-scenes talent, and an intriguing musical hook aren't enough to save Last Christmas from its poorly conceived story.

Last Christmas [is] about 75 percent of the way towards being a great movie. And while that’s not the worst crime in the world, it is the sentiment that’s left the rom-com genre struggling to thrive outside of streaming since the pandemic.

[It's] a star-studded romcom that plays like an expensive Hallmark film.

Still, it's worth a visit to the multiplex to behold cinematographer John Schwartzman (National Treasure: Book of Secrets, The Founder) accept the challenge of illuminating a feature almost entirely by Christmas lights.

3/5

Last Christmas leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy – as any good Christmas film should. But despite what the marketing may imply, it’s not the rom-com you may expect, and does offer some tinsel covered head-scratching moments.

Though Last Christmas sticks to some of the genre's prior tropes, it outdoes the norm through a multitude of layers and credible performances that are genuine and scarce in the usual holiday films produced.

Absolutely loved this film with a surprise ending. Emilies character is a redeemable yet lovable mess, and Henry Goldings character is magical. They both just light up the screen.
