Phantom Thread' is a relentlessly bold love story

Taking in Phantom Thread is like sitting down at a bar, asking the bartender for something strong, and finishing whatever is put in front of you. You are guaranteed to love it, but have no idea initially what it is.
butter and doesn't like loud butter spreading on toast at breakfast. To Reynolds Woodcock, silence is golden, but Alma puts that to the test.

Welcome to the most unconventional love story of all time, folks. Check your vulnerability at the door. Anderson's bold take on love and obsession is aided by a stellar cast, including the man, the myth, the legend, Daniel Day-Lewis. Right when you think Bill The Butcher, Daniel Plainview, or Abraham Lincoln would pull the best the actor had to offer, down the aisle comes Reynolds Woodcock.

Day-Lewis can tell us as many times as he wants about this being his last film, but I'm not buying it-or maybe I don't want to believe it. He's magnificent as Woodcock, a man who tortures himself so much for the highest level of his craft that it bleeds onto others' self-esteem. Every three to four years, Day-Lewis comes stomping back to the land of the wannabe thespians and shows them how it is done. He always plays dominating men but makes them feel independent from one another with a slight change in voice, tone of the voice, walking motion, or just the way he fires profanity from his mouth. If he does quit, this is a hallmark performance to ride out of Hollywood on. Simply put, he's the best the town has to offer.
