Review of Phantom Thread (2017) by Netflic — 12 Feb 2018
A story of a high fashion dress designer and a model he was looking for.
The latest film by Paul Thomas Anderson (aka PTA), film director famous for "Magnolia", "There Will Be Blood", and many others.
There is beautiful scenery here (not much of it though), gorgeous dresses, outstanding performance from leads, great casting, meticulous details.
On the other hand, dragging, slow, boring plot. It is not unusual for Anderson to dive into psychics of obsessive, troubled psychopaths but this movie left me cold as stone. Too many threads are left untied.
The film pretends to be artsy but rather weird. A weird film about weird people. If it is a love story, that love has to be taken into quotes.
I would give this film many technical Oscar nominations but definitely not the best feature.
