Phantom Thread is an exquisitely crafted film. Camera work, lighting, sound, music. Quirky, controlling, and slightly freakish dress designer Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) meets a meek and clumsy country waitress named Alma (Vicky Krieps). The characters are interesting, their relationship moves in a delightfully unpredictable manner. Until things start to get weird, and not in a good way. Towards the end neither the character development nor their actions make any sense.
Nearly every dress designed by Woodcock in the film was exquisitely made yet had a weird element that ruined it. Maybe it was intentional. Maybe it's just me. But I felt the same way about the film.
