Phantom Thread

2017, Movie, 2h 10min

Amid the the glamour of 1950s London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the center of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutantes, and dames with the distinctive style of the House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he meets Alma (Vicky Krieps), a strong-willed young woman who soon becomes a fixture in his life as a muse and lover. Once rigid and controlled, Reynolds finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by a love that borders on perverse obsession. In his second collaboration with Daniel Day-Lewis, director Paul Thomas Anderson paints a sumptuous, wickedly comic portrait of both an artist on a creative journey and the women who keep his world running.

...Anderson’s most playful and most kinky movie to date – a Molotov cocktail gift-wrapped in taffeta and lace.

Krieps is a real find: a virtual unknown (...) who can hold her own opposite a titan like Day-Lewis in a movie which, for the most part, is an intense, chamber-piece two-hander.

This is Anderson’s most sedate and humane movie – it chills you in the moment and then destroys you over the long haul.

Anderson’s direction excels at pitting tenderness against the harsh realities of self-absorbed pariahs. Reynolds and Alma are anything but a perfect match, but as Anderson’s last few movies attest, dissonance can be a beautiful thing.
