Phantom Thread Reviews
Not interesting at all. The plot is quite basic.
Filme fraco, o roteiro é ruim, o filme tem cenas fracas, mesmo com o Daniel day-lewis no protagonista o filme não consegue ser bons, e nem o elenco ajuda a ser bom, com uma história fraca e com personagens fracos.
With incredible performances from both Daniel Day Lewis and Vicky Krieps, Phantom Thread stands out as one of the best films of 2018. Every single scene, no matter how subtle, that involves Lewis is captivating and keeps you yearning for the next line. This film tackles the toxic relationship plot and runs with it. It would be easy to dismiss this movie due to the slow burn storyline if it wasn't for the strong chemistry between the two leads. Paul Thomas Anderson knows exactly how to tell a story of a man thinks little of others and views himself as a god among men. He discards women as soon as he's "done" with them, until one woman comes along determined to be the exception. Vicky Krieps plays Alma, a waitress who Reynolds(DDL) discovers while having lunch one afternoon. He enlists her as his new muse, while developing a romantic relationship with her. All is well at first, until her mannerisms are perceived by him as micro aggressions. Trying to stand out, Alma tries to take the initiative and surprise Reynolds with a homemade dinner. As a man stuck in his ways and deeply rigid with his routine, this upsets Reynolds . He's enraged and his view toward Alma sours. Even referring to her as a foreign enemy there to shoot him (all over asparagus). His irrational and abrasive behavior pushes Alma to take extreme and unorthodox measures in order to earn her spot in his heart. This could be my favorite work from Paul Thomas Anderson, even with epics like The Master and the There Will Be Blood. Outstanding directing and superb acting all around in this film.
It seems well done, and the acting was good, the sets and costumes impeccable. But also what an odd movie. I don't feel like I totally got it.
This movie is visually stunning. The meticulously crafted music, photography, and costumes create a delicately beautiful experience. The story, about a renowned designer who falls in love with a young girl vastly different from him, is intriguing and thought-provoking, particularly when it comes to love. However, the pacing feels slow at times, dragging on unnecessarily.
Interesting... good acting... but I don't think she's right for him... especially with all the mental illness going on... but an OK watch... and something different.
Celluloid perfection!
The first element of Phantom Thread that catches the eye is its unmatched beauty. Every single frame of this film absolutely beautiful! This is, perhaps, the most unique love story that I've ever had the privilege of seeing. I adore Phantom Thread as it is one of my absolute favorite motion pictures of all time. Not only is the film a perfect masterpiece, so too is the original score by Jonny Greenwood. The entire experience is masterful! Daniel Day-Lewis gives a beautiful performance in the fashion that only his genius could bring to life. If this is, in fact, his swan song as an actor, what a lovely song it is. The unconventional nature of this love story is a big part of what makes it great. On one hand, it shows how dysfunctional and ugly love can be. One the other hand, it shows just how special, how truly beautiful love can be. Love can be crazy, and Reynolds and Alma are most definitely crazy in love. Please, do yourself a great service and watch this beautiful film. 100/100
One of my favorite movies ever
One of the best films I've seen lately Ambiguity is the best part of this film Unspoken words and humor Toxic marriage that most of us can relate to. May we all not have this kind of relationship But we should speak about it. Paul thomas anderson is my all time favourite filmmaker and screenwriter. Phantom thread 2017 ✨
The more I think about it, the more I love this movie. A twisted, surprisingly funny story told in a way that is both visually and sonically stunning. Some incredibly hilarious dialogue delivered with the utmost seriousness. Watching Reynolds and Alma face off, both characters so sure and clear about what they want, jockeying for power in their own ways, the control shifting between them in the relationship…and the end scenes :0. Incredible sound design - footsteps, buttering toast, pouring tea, butter sizzling, crunching.
A luta entre o amor e a obsessão produz conflitos que marcam a vida de um casal que vive no universo da moda. É um fio tecido sob a paixão e a desilusão que costuram esse enredo épico. Maravilha de roteiro e atuações impecáveis.
It's a movie about a seamstress - a male seamstress. Bravo, Paul Thomas Anderson! You really scraped the bottom-of-the-barrel on this one!
The line between love and obsession is as thin as a thread through a needle! A popular dressmaker finds a muse in a waitress that soon becomes his lover, but there conflicting personalities result in some disturbing and unhealthy complexities. Grounded by Daniel Day-Lewis's performance, we are unsure if we should be rooting for these characters as there desire for each other reaches some troubling extremes!
This is a dreadful movie that pretends to be more intelligent than it is by using cheap devices, i.e., long meaningful stares that go on far too long, understanding smiles that shouldn't be understanding at all since the character knows what is going to happen to him, reactions that make no sense in the situation, etc. Awful. Just awful. The one star I gave is for the beautiful rooms, not for the ugly dresses the main character devotes his life to creating in those rooms.
Superior acting by cast. As always, DDL brings the character to life.
I am second to none in my admiration for the films of Paul Thomas Anderson (PTA to those of us who know him well). His MAGNOLIA is on my top ten of all time list, and with the glaring exception of INHERENT VICE, he hasn't made a movie that I haven't liked a lot if not outright loved. A PTA movie is an event. This is one of his best, and markedly different than anything else that he has done. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what made this such a special viewing experience for me, but I became more and more enthralled as the movie went on, and by the end, the subtle power of what I saw started to sink in. This is one of those movies that requires more than one viewing. I was enamored by the representations of both creative and romantic obsession. Reynolds Woodcock (one of the great names in modern cinema) lives for his work and finds everything else around him a distraction. When Alma comes into the picture, she is equally determined to make him part of his passion, and her methods become increasingly desperate. Day Lewis and Manville received the Oscar nominations, and both are superlative, but Krieps is the secret weapon here, and she comes across like a young Meryl Streep both in countenance and style. The relationship between Reynolds and Alma is one of the most complicated and fascinating I've seen in awhile. This is a quietly devastating movie, and one of those experiences where you don't realize the full impact until you think about it afterwards.
A surprisingly film from Anderson, and not just because of the Gothic and psychologically fraught romance at the center. There's a quiet patience to the filmmaking that feels like something from another era. A thing of fascinating beauty.
espite some beautiful cinematography here and there, there are times where candlelight turns every scene to everyone's favorite vomit yellow. Compare that to Kubrick's masterpiece Barry Lyndon. What's even more shameful is the lifeless camerawork doesn't even begin to highlight the beauty of the truly amazing colors. Although this Anderson moves the camera much more than his other Anderson counterpart, Wes, Paul somehow managed to make it even more lifeless. Whether it's a slow pan or a static shot, it never makes a difference.
Due to the subject matter and setting, I shouldn’t like this movie. But Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the best directors working today.
