Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Axet — 21 Jan 2018

From one of the most over-rated hack sham writer directors of the last twenty years that jackass critics and industry fools continue to praise showing their utter pretentious idiocy this delivers exactly what was expected: pure self indulgent pretentious nonsense devoid of narrative craft, artistic flair, and anything remotely resembling entertainment (good movies and all art entertains no matter the content). While it does get some chuckles from Daniel Day Lewis's formed character and delivery of some admittedly funny audacious dialogue he still should be embarrassed to have this pretentious fraud of a movie stand as his last before retirement.

* note: I do not generally pay to see these award contenders (what a joke) since my access is free. I saw a 35mm film presentation of this which along with his preferred 70mm is the luddite director's pretentious carnival barker hoax of exhibition medium and it looked awful and was at unarguably less than half the resolution of current digital projection standards, like watching an old beat up film in the early seventies not in the great aesthetic sense of that period but in the deficient inferior movie theater technology of those times compared to now. Pretentious is the word.
