"There is no such thing as being normal, it's just being a human being. It's hard" (Tom reacts to Kate's desperate confession of trying to live up to people's expectations, as she rests easily in his lap).

Tis the season for studios to release their cinematic gifts. Universal comes to the 2019 festive tree with Last Christmas and they will be pleased, in my humble opinion, with their thoughtful offering. But don't get me wrong, it's no Love Actually.  

Emilia Clarke, loaded with her Game of Thrones fame, plays selfish and slightly unhinged Kate (Katorina). Kate is first generation Slav still dealing with past health and current family issues. She is crying out to be taught a life lesson. So nothing new with this little festive rom-com. Enter Tom (Henry Golding), a change from her one-night stand escapades, he's thoughtful and caring with an armour that shines. The armour never stops shining but is it real? 

So how does Kate change her ways? It won't take you long to work it all out. You could start with listening to George Michaels (Wham) rendition of the title song. No, wait on, that would be too much of a spoiler. Emma Thompson steals a couple of scenes as Kate's wily old Slav mum, Petra. Thompson co-wrote the script. 8GUMS.
