So very boring, as good an actor as DDL is this film just isn’t entertaining at all.

This comes across as a well made exploration into a fascinating true story about an eccentric historical figure. Except that it isn't true. So then it's a well made exploration into an eccentric fictional character. But, without much happening most of the movie, you'd think it must be leading up to something in the end, to give it some substance. And, the substance turns out to be... [spoiler] poison omelettes. Which sounds much more intriguing…

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the greatest directors of this generation, and in this film he weaves a spellbinding tale of love and obsession, with a wonderful attention to detail. As cinema, this is magnificent, with lavish visuals, superb direction, and an intoxicating music score. The film is funny, weird, and desperately human. Surely a 9 or a 10 out of 10 film then... except no. The way the story unfolded during the end threw me a little,…

_Phantom Thread_ is an exquisite jazz soliloquy that you adore not for what's in it, but for how it makes you feel. It is a masterly crafted suit that makes you feel like a better person the moment it envelopes you. The writing is seamless, the cinematography stylish and the soundtrack, my god, Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack is tailor-made to this film. The music in _Phantom Thread_ has a more important role and performs it better than most human…

I wasn't sure I would like this movie but I had to see it to see (possibly) Daniel Day-Lewis' last performance and, obviously, Paul Thomas Anderson. Man, I really got hooked right away. It is shot beautifully. The piano score was wonderful. DDL was fantastic and interesting but the real surprise is how great Vicky Krieps was. Alma is such a fascinating character. To just pick up her life to live with Reynolds. Trying to break his tough shell.…

"Phantom Thread" is a sober and elegant film whose austerity hides a great deal of complexity. Paul Thomas Anderson's sophisticated filmmaking is now focused on the untold, with details like colors, small objects, sounds, subtle gestures, and glances being as important as the dialogues to understand the nuances of his storytelling. Despite the film being the analysis of a twisted and toxic relationship characterized by emotional dependency,…
