    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Paul Thomas Anderson got the initial idea for the film while he was sick in bed one day. His wife, Maya Rudolph, was tending to him and gave him a look that made him realize that she had not looked at him with such tenderness and love in a long time.
    • Goofs
      A character says, "I don't mean to be racist..." That word didn't exist, at least in British English, in the 1950s. Someone might have used "racialist".
    • Quotes

      Reynolds Woodcock: Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

    • Crazy credits
      The typeface used for the credits is called Reynolds Stone and it was created by English wood engraver, typographer, and designer Reynolds Stone, who was a close friend of the parents of Daniel Day-Lewis.

    Exquisitely crafted, ruined when it turns incoherent

    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.
