Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Sadiep — 07 Feb 2018

It is amazing to read the reviews & the difference of opinion! We were VERY disappointed, thought the film was slow, boring, stupid and couldn't wait for it to be over. Someone clapped in the theater at the end & I heard another say, "they are clapping because it is finally over!" Woodcock & his love Elma were a very dysfunctional mismatched couple (age & temperament) & Woodcock was pretentious, self-indulgent, spoiled - actually a little crazy.

Daniel Day Lewis was indeed super in his performance, along with the sets & costuming, (though we really were not impressed with HIS dress designs as a whole) all sets & scenery were well done for the time period presented.

Woodcock's sister, Cyril, was his stability & caretaker - we liked her.
