Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Corregated — 12 Feb 2018
The showing I saw had a preview for the latest 50 Shades of Grey. Phantom Threads is like 50 Shades for the NPR crowd. Distasteful characters find twisted love through rudeness and brutality amidst opulent surroundings.
At least 50 Shades seems to have a handsome man in it. I rewatched the misleading preview, which contained the few romantic scenes but none of the misery. If film makers want to create such depressing pieces, at least they should warn us.
