Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Luke E — 01 Mar 2018

Paul Thomas Anderson's latest picture, which is also surprisingly not only his second collaboration with three time Oscar winner Danial Day-Lweis, but also the actor's last picture when confirmed about his retirement from acting.

In all sense of honesty, it's certainly set up as if these two were to be at their most finest form, not in both visual style, but also the engrossing substantial nature of it's setting and story.

Don't be alarmed by it's dragging pace, as this film's story is so fully investing from start to finish it's hard to not see it in any other way than what it appears to be; an Authentic period drama with a romantic touch and charm.

While I'm so grateful P.T. Anderson's latest film lived up to it's reputation and quality which didn't disappoint, I'd easily say it's one for the ages that needs to be experienced on the big screen as Anderson has proven himself to be not only a masterful filmmaker, but also an incredible writer of diverse subject matters and engrossing executions.

Also, how could a film with an almost uncanny deadpan charm and humour be so fascinating as it is incredibly entertaining. Highly Recommended especially if it's too Oscar baity, otherwise.
