Please don't spend money on this.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

PHANTOM THREAD just annihilated me. It's completely worthy of all the immense hype (such as, most cinephiles considering it the best film of 2017). It grows and builds in as organic a manner that a film possibly can. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt - I needed to get to know the characters, then, through most of the movie, I was cracking up at all the tension and the misery between them, then, by the last 10 minutes, I was in tears - a flow of tears which increased each minute as I processed the power and uniqueness and realness of what I had just witnessed. They were "profound" tears. I don't know that I've ever seen a movie that so tastefully glamorizes the toxicity of love. The poison that so many of us romanticize, the poison that we NEED in our lives. There are two types of people in the world: people who feel at home in perfectly "healthy" relationships, and then there's the rest of us. This film is for the rest of us. It stands in a league of it's own. I could never have expected the conclusion - the way that the ribbon is tied, the way the final thread is sewn. It hit me like a bag of bricks. It is all of the pain in love and all of the beauty, all at once. I have never seen this story told before. It's completely original, and completely shattering. The three leads are absolutely astonishing - Daniel Day Lewis and Lesley Manville are terrifying - Vicky Krieps is the most real. The writing and directing is impeccable - P.T. Anderson's legacy continues, it's fire burning brighter than ever. Yes, this is a masterpiece. I am dead.

I personally found this film a bit tedious and unengaging( I was a bit bored throughout). This film just wasn't for me. Yet objectively this is an amazing film. The acting, directing, cinematography and set design were all outstanding. I just wish I could have enjoyed it. I went in with very little info on the film as I usually do with films that are well reviewed. (I read the reviews after watching the film, so I don't have other people opinions clouding my judgement). I was unfortunately expecting something a bit a bit darker. I also had to see the movie because it may be Daniel Day-Lewis' final film. If you are a fan of Downton Abby or Jane Austin novels (both of which I dislike) you will almost certainly enjoy this movie.

Beautiful film, that captivated me in the first hour. However just as Woodcock tires of his muse, i tired of this in the second half.Lesley Manville is great (she always is), but for me the revelation is Vicky Krieps. Yet she received no Oscar nomination?Beautiful Jonny Greenwood score though.
