    Phantom Thread was iconic on arrival. It has everything going for it. Interesting characters, snappy dialogue, flawless acting, the best soundtrack in recent memory, not to mention that it is, simply put, extremely odd. The film will be memorable to anyone that watches it due to the last ten minutes that escalate things in a way that you either love or loathe. As for myself, I distinctly remember grinning ear to ear the second Reynolds starts chewing.

    That being said,…

    ★★★

    Kitschy but full of so much inventive filmmaking that it’s hard to deny it has something to it. The Regent Street rendition of Rock DJ is perfect kino. 

    Very funny that Take That had a jukebox musical last year which I (and probably most people) only discovered existed due to the Anora soundtrack
