Phantom Thread - Reviews

A brilliant English couturier of the postwar age: fastidious and cantankerous, humourless and preposterous...

...could be the filmmaker's most fascinatingly oblique work. The movie is a persistent depiction of the perverse stages of a perverse evolution.

Krieps is a real find: a virtual unknown (...) who can hold her own opposite a titan like Day-Lewis in a movie which, for the most part, is an intense, chamber-piece two-hander.

This is Anderson’s most sedate and humane movie – it chills you in the moment and then destroys you over the long haul.

...Anderson’s most playful and most kinky movie to date – a Molotov cocktail gift-wrapped in taffeta and lace.

Anderson’s direction excels at pitting tenderness against the harsh realities of self-absorbed pariahs. Reynolds and Alma are anything but a perfect match, but as Anderson’s last few movies attest, dissonance can be a beautiful thing.

...divine, poetically scripted and unpredictable.

Every line-reading and gesture exerts a supernatural grip.

Ett maffigt, melodramatiskt upplägg...

Den skjulte tråd' er både en film om bestræbelserne på at skabe det sublime og en film om kærlighedens fortærende væsen.

...et knivskarpt psykologisk portræt af tre mennesker, der kannibaliserer på hinandens affektioner til tonerne af usvigeligt elegant klassisk musik.

...en cineastisk triumf att kapitulera villkorslöst inför.

Ett komplext och intrikat maktspel som får Scener ur ett äktenskap att framstå som ett barnkammarrim.

...ett mästerligt filmhantverk...
