Phantom Thread: Movie Review

"Phantom Thread" is set in the gloomy 1950's London, where exquisite fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) falls for an eye catching woman named Alma (Vicky Krieps).
Unabashedly indulgent, "Phantom Thread" is quietly devastating. The film is a constant unraveling of mysteries, exposed by the expense of the home of Reynolds Woodcock. A man of few words, Woodcock is one of the more fascinating characters of 2017.

Director/writer Paul Thomas Anderson is a creative genius. Unpredictable in his approach, Anderson flawlessly goes from comedy to intense drama, and it works remarkably well. Since his directorial debut in 1996 with the film "Hard Eight",
Anderson has been flawless, and "Phantom Thread" adds another film to
his rich library.
The music, by Jonny Greenwood, is a continually flow of a therapeutic oxygen. It's nightmarish touch, and the films gloomy cinematography, make the whole film like a thunderous dream. Gorgeous and vibrant in its mundane subject matter, Anderson outdid himself, and so did the wonderful cast.
"Phantom Thread" is a brilliant film. Stimulated by its own offbeat tone, and somewhat indulgent moments, it's direction, and cast is just to good to be ignored. The craft put into each scene is irresistible, and heartbreaking, while just being odd enough to add intrigue.
It's one of the best films of the year.
