Phantom Thread2017

Loving the sensuality and romance of punch drunk love, I came into this thinking I would view the movie with the same loving embrace I did of the other. What I saw I am not really interested in. The power dynamic, the interplay of the emotions or lack thereof between Woodcock, Cyril, and Alma, makes up an intriguing watch at first, but underneath all the subtle and nuanced stab and prodding, I could not bring myself to be moved by any particular character. I felt what the movie was and what it was trying to be. I understood the occasion. I simply saw the final dress; I did not care to look into what lay under the threads.
