Phantom Thread (2017)

An established -- but rather staid -- fashion designer dates and dumps a series of women, with his sister enabling him, all in the service of his work. He meets his match when he falls for Alma. There doesn't seem to be much to her, but she is more strong-willed than expected and is determined not to be tossed aside.

This movie was, in a word, distasteful. Yes, there was some good acting and it was definitely an original story, but ecccch. I left the theater feeling pretty grossed-out.

I dearly hope this isn't Daniel Day Lewis's last film as he has announced. It would be tragic for this to be the last thing he does.
