What to Know

Critics Consensus

Phantom Thread's finely woven narrative is filled out nicely by humor, intoxicating romantic tension, and yet another impressively committed performance from Daniel Day-Lewis.

Brandon Taylor The New Yorker 03/27/2023
A simple thing, a robe, and yet it captures so much of what it feels like to have passed so close to disaster... Go to Full Review
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 03/10/2020
Anderson has trouble coaxing this struggle to any sort of emotional climax; its fanciful, symbolic ending is the sort critics will praise for its careful ambiguity even as they overlook its narrative desperation. Go to Full Review
J. Hoberman The New York Review of Books 03/07/2019
Anderson makes movies that may refuse to explain themselves but nevertheless manage to engage the viewer, in part because he tends to cut from confined spaces to open ones as if inviting us to enter them. Go to Full Review

"Phantom Thread" is a exquisite film of elevated aesthetics that drape over a scintillating story of tumultuous potential discord. Go to Full Review
Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews 10/25/2024
4.5/5
A beautifully crafted, incredibly intentional film that doesn’t waste a single frame. The performances from Krieps and Day-Lewis will make you feel like you are watching a ceremonious dance performed by two highly seasoned veterans of the arts. Go to Full Review

Enrique Sep 12 AHHHH PHANTOM THREAD 🗣️🗣️🗣️ See more Charles K Dec 28 Celluloid perfection! See more jimena 10/27/2024 One of my favorite movies ever See more Leesa J Nov 21 One of the worst movies I have ever seen. See more Francis S Nov 18 perfect film, perfect acting. makes me glad to be alive. this is perfection, this is what films are about. it has woven a fabric of life so detailed, so precise, as to lend a perception of the immensity of life and love, the heaviness of these bodies and these lives we lead. superb soundtrack. this film must be a testament to the efficacy of method acting, and to what can be done when a sensible director has a vision and a direction. See more Nov 14 AWFUL. Along with The Master, maybe the worst movie I've ever seen and a victim of fans obsequiousness that won't allow them to see how awful it actually is/was. I was a fan of PTA and will always have his early stuff- but this movie absolutely Sucked. I won't keep it or the Master, which was equally garbage. See more Read all reviews
