Paul Thomas Anderson’s most recent film and also Daniel Day-Lewis’s last, Phantom Thread is about a dressmaker (Day-Lewis), who falls in love with a waitress, and their somewhat sweet, somewhat toxic (but classy) relationship.
It’s hard to explain what’s so alluring about Phantom Thread, but it is alluring, and also maddening.
And the fact that it’s probably Johny Greenwood’s best soundtrack to date doesn’t hurt, either.
It’s probably PTA’s strangest movie to date, but also one of his most fascinating.
