Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day Lewis) is an exclusive English fashion designer and confirmed bachelor catering to the aristocracy and the rich. On a weekend retreat at a small hotel Woodcock meets a young waitress and becomes intrigued by her appearance and manner. The relationship they engage in eventually impacts upon Woodcock and his design house.
Day Lewis is an acclaimed actor. His performances are typically intense and mostly joyless and Day Lewis lives up to his standards in 'Phantom Thread'. The best performance, however, comes from Lesley Manville as Woodcock's tightly controlled sister and business administrator.
Slow and earnest.
