About Last Christmas Movie:
Last Christmas is a romantic comedy film directed by Paul Feig, featuring a screenplay by Bryony Kimmings and Emma Thompson, who also stars in the film. The story is inspired by the music of George Michael and Wham!, particularly the iconic song “Last Christmas.” The film stars Emilia Clarke as Kate, a disillusioned Christmas store worker, alongside Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, and Emma Thompson.
As their relationship develops, Kate learns more about herself and begins to make positive changes in her life. However, Tom often disappears without explanation, leading to confusion about his intentions. Eventually, Kate discovers that Tom was the organ donor whose heart she received—a revelation that adds depth to their connection and highlights themes of love, loss, and redemption.
Last Christmas was released theatrically in the United States on November 8, 2019, and in the United Kingdom on November 15, 2019. While it received mixed reviews from critics—who praised the chemistry between Clarke and Golding but criticized the screenplay—the film grossed $123 million worldwide. It has since been recognized for its unique blend of holiday spirit and emotional storytelling, making it a notable entry in modern Christmas cinema.
