Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by The3Academysins — 17 Jan 2018
Paul Thomas Anderson adds another masterpiece to his already stellar filmography. I had the privilege of getting to see Phantom Thread in 70mm, and if you can find a 70mm screening near you, I highly recommend that you go see it in 70mm.
In a year of amazing movies, Phantom Thread raises the bar. From a direction standpoint, everything is flawless. The acting is incredible, and Daniel Day Lewis and Vicky Krieps both completely disappear into their characters.
The tension between the two leads is palpable, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole film. The costume design is stunning, and definitely one for the record books. Paul Thomas Anderson's script takes some huge risks that I really appreciated, and I never knew what was going to happen next.
Every aspect of Phantom Thread is complex and deeply layered, and Paul Thomas Anderson truly went full Auteur for this film. This is not a film to be missed, and you'll probably have to watch it multiple times to catch all of the complexity and clues.
