PHANTOM THREAD (2017) - Movie Review

[@VideoCop]

Just got out of this, I dont know why I liked it so much or even if I can say WHAT I liked about it, and now I cant stop thinking about it.

[@toddmaniatoddmania9844]

Phantom Thread is one of my favorite films of all time; it’s so simple, yet it’s so complex. Vicky Krieps was an outstanding supporting actress. The argument at dinner with Reynolds is the best scene of the film, in my opinion. Her acting talent really shone through in that scene. I became an instant fan. The sets, wardrobes, and especially the music really make this film work.

[@acaciacantrip3975]

I so agree...this has become one of my favorite films of all time. I really think its a tremendous work of art! Sorry, probably a bit weird to receive a reply to your comment 5 years later, haha! Just having a bit of a PTA binge

[@1080TJ]

"Never Cursed" is one of the most incredible pieces of film music I've heard in a while. The scene where it was used almost brought me to tears.

[@sheggy5442]

TJ Hastie I agree, Jonny Greenwood is a genius!!

[@Custard351]

Phantom Thread was my favorite film of 2017. I have never thought about the Kubrick connection until this movie, but it seemed clear with Thread. I love Kubrick. I feel that Lesley Manville is the treasure here. It seems as if she is one with the audience, watching the relationship between DDL and Vicki Krieps develop, understanding that is will not be healthy. She is sure of this and knows why. I was sure of this and thought I knew why. The reveal is perverse but is a different way than I thought. Subversive, like Lolita, but for different reasons. By the way, Johnny Greenwood is a genius.

He is not a dressmaker. He is the founder of a major couture house.

[@marnieandme84]

I always have had that Kubrick vibe from Anderson that people have always claimed belonged to Nolan but his last few films especially this and the master feel very Stanley Kubrick I didn’t like the master. When I first saw it I have seen it three times since then and I think it’s the best film of 2012 i know that isn’t a popular opinion but it really does grow on you overtime as I think the phantom thread will I think it’s a great work although it won’t be for everyone and a wonderful send off for the magnificent Day Lewis , Paul Thomas Anderson has become one of those directors whom for me I personally have to see everything he does. Great review as always.

[@thebossman80s]

I wonder if Daniel said “I’m finished” At the end!, it is his last film after all. Maybe he will go back to Italy to make shoes again!?! Or maybe we will get to see him do something on stage in the theatre. That’s something I would love to see.

[@paulkossak7761]

My favorite PTA film. I see bits of Hitchcock and Bergmann influences.

[@binaryg]

I saw it for the 2nd time today with two friends and I was amazed at how different it seemed on this viewing. This time it came across as a fairy tale, a ghost story, a phantasm. What is real what is imaged in the story? More views to come for me.

[@MrTeeye]

GnB I also saw it twice, about 5 days apart. It just stays with you and becomes so much richer on second viewing. This is an almost perfect movie.

[@wolfstar675]

I'm definitely subscribing to your channel I love the way you express your thoughts and the way you analyze films, you're also incredibly beautiful by the way.

[@vinceinman9666]

Given how much DDL collaborated with PTA for the role, I'm wondering how much DDL put of himself with the character because of how far he goes with his method acting. If any of this is true with himself. I loved this film, top 10 of the year, and stellar acting.

[@tonybennett4159]

Just discovered your channel. It's the best on youtube. So beautifully presented, with great insights and including both new and classic films. Keep up the great work.

[@BlaqcRain]

Well well well .... I just stumbled into your channel looking for a spoiler review of this movie and yours was the populated one ... my favorite review just breezed over the jist of the movie but I like how you describe certain moments in the film with detail ... it brought me right back to those moments with clarity, understanding and appreciation! Very well articulated, ma'am

[@ericanthony7952]

Possibly the only film in which I've ever seen Daniel Day-Lewis respond to another actor. He usually doesn't even make eye contact, but in these he seemed to open up a bit. I guess there's hope for him yet.

[@deckofcards87]

Can't believe Day-Lewis is retired. Can't cope with that reality.

[@domwalker6526]

Just watched this and Man what a great movie. The performances are just amazing. PTA can't lose I think he's coined his own style at this point

[@jbliv831]

Wish I could see Kubrick's thoughts on Paul's career. I know he liked Boogie Nights, but Jesus. Such a master.

[@chevexx1111]

Movies don't infer; they imply. People viewing a film, infer.

[@callmeishmael3031]

Best film of the decade since The Master. PTA is the best filmmaker working today. It sounds like you didn't keep in mind the title of the film very much while you were watching it.

[@Scottsetchell]

Excellent review as always!

[@Spractral]

Is it time for a follow up?

[@BrownCouchMovies]

Love to hear your take on film! You always bring such a unique point of view Maggie! :D

[@leobergmiller873]

I believe this movie releases wide next Friday, so holy shit am I RUSHING out to see it when it does

[@syko567890]

You should make a video on all those writing books you have on your shelf. The best ones, of course.

[@blakepatterson7332]

I've been excited about this movie for awhile. There Will Be Blood is one of the most profound films of this century. Have you seen Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love? What did you think of them?

[@deepfocuslens]

Not the biggest fan of 1990s PTA, though I admire the craft. Punch-Drunk Love was more a step in the right direction.

[@blakepatterson7332]

deepfocuslens That's cool! The part that really intrigued me the most about Punch Drunk-Love was that Adam Sandler could actually act. I mean I always thought he seemed like a nice guy, but most of his comedies are the way men describe having hemorrhoids for me.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I'm intrigued. Thanks Mags.

[@JFKHaircut]

I like her hair.

[@sonsolar]

Boooty Lunch wonder how it would look if it was done

[@alexanderg1297]

Are you here?

[@dismantlingamy]

What is your take on Hard Eight?? Apart from There Will Be Blood this is the PTA film that I rewatch the most. Surprisingly, it gets mentioned the least whenever anyone speaks on PTA. I'm starting to think that my affinity for films that take place in gambling towns has left me a blind spot when it comes to that film. Anyway, love your reviews. Please keep em coming :)

[@syko567890]

What is that picture in the green frame?

[@deepfocuslens]

I was in a modern dance company in high school. That's a picture of all of us posing I guess. haha

[@DrewManning]

I really need to check this out. I didn't even know this was coming, and I've loved every PTA movie I've seen. Great review as usual; I love how articulate and knowledgeable you are.

[@simiancinema2022]

Her reviews are terrific.

[@menevetsny]

Score and soundtrack so good like CMBYN. Uses the same Schubert trio Kubrick did different movement. Greenwood should win for best score.

[@mrng245]

Time for a revist maybe?

[@luisutil9070]

Always on point girl... love it!

[@CyberManor]

Nice review. Subbed

[@lovelyrita64]

I’m so late to this but I just watched the film for the first time and ... I am so in love and so confused. Glad I found your channel 🥰🙏🏽You’re awesome! I hope you’re having a great day♥️

[@anthonyburn1010]

Excellent review, one of your best.

[@Eric68B]

Please make a review of The brood or videodrome

[@omeshsingh8091]

I just couldn't buy into the film. Perhaps I need to see it again, but TBH, the first viewing didn't really do enough to motivate a second viewing.

[@HowToWatchMovies]

One of these days, you’re gonna decide you want your video flipped back the normal way and it’s gonna feel like a review from an alternate universe.

[@jakobrogers625]

Great review!

[@thatcandont]

At the end I’m pretty pissed off because it makes no sense. Suddenly I start laughing. A couple minutes later the characters start laughing. Watching it again soon

[@safiulhamidaasem8352]

Hi Maggie who do you think is the best actor of all time .

[@opticalmixing23]

if dan lewis asked you out would u do him

[@megamoviez]

wordsin mybrain I'm a straight male and I still would lol

[@hughiedavies6069]

I found this film funny in the same way i find kubrick films funny 😄

[@robertsinclair1466]

Your Face and Movie taste are weird but i still like your reviews

[@M.H.I.A.F.T.]

Her face is weird? No it isn't. Grow up kid.

[@daymenlewis198]

goth chic

[@pureuncutlakers1010]

Phantom Thread was too egotistical IMO. I hate to do this, but the 10s and 9.5s are ridiculous. This film was not better than Hard 8, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, There will Be Blood, or that movie with Adam Sandler. It wasn't very entertaining. This film was made to win an Oscar(s), not to entertain. It was made so people who critique movies could separate themselves by showing everyone what they know and what the Layman doesn't. I thought this movie pandered too much to critics and PTA fans. With that being said, great review. This movie gets better after thinking about it.

[@erikghast3312]

PTA doesn't make Oscar bait.

[@freegadflyathome]

Erik Ghast it does cater to PTA fans though imo

[@freegadflyathome]

Which is great for someone like me

[@jaredmarshall1668]

I actually think it's his funniest film since Punch Drunk Love but that's just me.

[@ethidian3444]

Nicolas Dane What complete nonsense. “The movie didn’t entertain me” FTFY

[@yourguess3455]

the ending is bizarre....it's a movie for bdsm and feminist types that want to subjugate successful genius men to a subtle yet subordinate role to women...it's basically saying that a man can't be strong in his own right and that he needs a woman to maintain his composure....it's utter rubbish but the acting is superb

[@matthewbishop8395]

You do realise that just because something is in a film doesnt mean it's s a commentary on real life yeah?

[@MJGianesello]

projecting much? What a moron

[@vexarusnewman6090]

Isn't that the same thing as woman needing men to thrive and flourish?

[@master-ik9ro]

One more comment to make it 69 :)

[@SenorMorgenStern]

Lol, toxic relationship.

[@ChadSabourin]

"Phantom Thread" finally hit theaters near me! Here's my review for such, check it out! Side note, my Top 10 Best films of 2017 list will be released by the end of the week! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfaY5lqjN99fck
