Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 20 Jan 2018
Good news and bad news. Let me get the bad out of the way first and say that I found this to be director Paul Thomas Anderson's (whom I very much admire) weakest film to date. The good news is that Daniel Day-Lewis graces us with one more elegant and wonderful performance before he retires.
Lesley Manville was also quite brilliant in her supporting turn alongside him. As for the rest of the film, the score and overall design of the film is quite a treat, but the story felt a bit uneven and really started to feel more and more aimless, especially towards the end.
Overall, the film itself is good, but let's face it: If there's any reason to watch this film, it's for Day-Lewis' final bow onscreen, and he certainly doesn't disappoint.
