Phantom Thread is a very refined film and an excellent specimen of high-end cinema. It almost feels like a textbook example of what motion pictures were invented for.
Nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), Original Score, Lead Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis is absolutely superb), and Supporting Actress (Lesley Manville, also excellent), it took home the Oscar for Best Costume Design, for which is was probably a shoo-in, given the topic. So well deserved.
THE BOTTOM LINE: A feast for the eyes with nary a visual effect in sight, Phantom Thread tells a captivating tale.
Grade: 8
