PHANTOM THREAD: Every year or so, the Academy feels they must nominate an "intellectual" film and this is it (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director among others) Purported to be Daniel Day-Lewis's last film role (he has announced his retirement) I wish he has made a better choice for a swan song. While the film is beautiful to look at and loaded with atmosphere, it is nonetheless, rather tedious through out, In a nutshell, it is the story of an obsessed dress designer and his muse and lover and their love/hate relationship. The score (also nominated) is one of the best things about this film along with the costumes (another nominee) That being said, if you have the time and want to see a brilliant actor at work, this is the chance. But I seriously doubt it will take home any awards.
