I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express how important Alma is to me.
There have been many characters that have almost been her, but none of them have ever come close. She embodies everything I am, everything I’ve tried to be, and everything I’ve ever wanted to be. I’ve thought myself to be Alma before, but I’ve never been brave enough. She’s weak, but is stronger than anyone she’s around. She’s kind, but could break every bone in every body with her words. And yet, she’s in love.
She does something I’ve never been able to do. She does what I’ve always dreamed of doing and have constantly beat myself up for not being able to. Alma is…

What an accomplishment. One of my faves of the year.
Please see this projected on film. It's worth it.
PTA's cinematography should have received way more recognition this award's season.

absolutely unmatched lighting, absolutely unmatched score. jonny greenwood the motherfucking king. cannot believe how delicate and pleasant this movie feels for what it is. it’s like the great british bake off but for assholes. i love it. i’m also so lonely right now that at the asparagus dinner fight i found myself thinking “god i would kill to be in a weird and bitter fight with a girlfriend right now” which is healthy!

After Phantom Thread ended, two older women walk out of the theater, laugh, and say, “You do what you have to do to make your relationship work. It was perfect.”
In other words, it’ll be hard for any film this year to beat this. Paul Thomas Anderson is in love with filmmaking and its so obvious in the way Phantom Thread is presented. Hilarious, tantalizing, enchanting, and beautiful. Vicky Krieps steals the show.

phantom thread posits an impressively fresh take on the older, eccentric male genius with a younger female muse trope, but that’s to be expected from THE paul thomas anderson.
it’s a slow-burning fuse with a quietly explosive ending sequence. it’s the kinkiest film to not actually feature any sex scenes. it’s fifty shades of grey for the arthouse crowd... in a good way. -
I shit you not I was so shook by this movie I stood on the other platform at the station and am currently on the wrong train home

one of the purest joys in this world is insisting that a bunch of new friends who’ve never seen this watch it and then observing them go from shocked realization —> pensive contemplation —> hesitant acceptance —> effusive approval —> fist-pumping euphoria during the climactic omelette scene. this was my 4th time doing this and it never gets old! in fact, it’s the only foreseeable reason to keep making new friends!!!
