Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Steviegjd — 08 Jan 2018
What a beautiful film. While this will not be everybody's cup of tea, I loved it. Daniel Day-Lewis serves up another great performance: a fully realized, and exceptionally bizarre, artistic dress designer.
There were so many quirky moments that cracked me up. But I also noticed some people in the theater that did not get it. This movie also looks so perfect. It feels like England in the 1950s. My wife and mother (both of whom I took to see this) were in love with the dresses.
This movie is a lock to win the Academy Award for best costumes. The narrative goes in a direction that I did not anticipate. But that made it fun too. The acting is superb, as is the direction by Paul Thomas Anderson.
I am truly sorry for those who don't get it, you missed something special. But I expect there are a number of things those folks don't get.
