Phantom Thread 2017

I wasn't sure I would like this movie but I had to see it to see (possibly) Daniel Day-Lewis' last performance and, obviously, Paul Thomas Anderson. Man, I really got hooked right away. It is shot beautifully. The piano score was wonderful. DDL was fantastic and interesting but the real surprise is how great Vicky Krieps was. Alma is such a fascinating character. To just pick up her life to live with Reynolds. Trying to break his tough shell. Even going as far to poison him, that was crazy! This isn't going to be for everyone but this is a beautiful film.

P.S. This movie has some hilarious scenes. I might not be able to butter toast without thinking of this movie.
