Yes, I'm looking forward to it, too. Love me some Manville.

Was this not intended as a thread about the film 'Phantom Thread'?

Daniel Day-Lewis's announced last movie role. I fear my expectations may be set too high, but am really looking forward to seeing it.

Reading Paul Thomas Anderson's Reddit here PTAReddit REALLY makes want to watch Magnolia again (I saw Boogie Nights again for the first time in ages last week and forgot what a great director he can be, I liked The Master but not too keen on Inherent Vice) |

I'm going to see this tomorrow night at the Royal Festival Hall, introduced by Paul Thomas Anderson and Jonny Greenwood, and with a live score from the London Contemporary Orchestra (I'm presuming the fact they're doing this 'live' with the LCO means they're planning on doing this sort of screening more than once around the world). Expensive, but (hopefully) worth it.

I don't think this is even going to be screened in Liverpool - not even at the Fact arts cinema (at any rate, I couldn't find it in their listings) though it was in the default Picturehouse trailer before Three Billboards. Are we deemed not posh enough? Ditto, Waitrose - they have a Mersey poet doing voiceover for the adverts but there is't actually a branch here!
I've got mixed feelings about Daniel Day-Lewis - I'm always conscious that this is a capital-P Performance when I'm watching him, but the director's interesting.

I don't think this is even going to be screened in Liverpool - What are you on about? It's at the Odeon Liverpool ONE from Friday. |

It's at the Odeon Liverpool ONE Thanks - I looked a few days ago but didn't see it (Odeons are too loud for me though - they turn the volume up full to hide the snacking noises. I generally go to arts cinemas because they're quieter - perforated eardrum - and it wasn't at any of those). |

Thanks again. It didn't show up at all when I went through their upcoming listings! Weird. I searched for other things to check and they showed, but it didn't. Cheap monday night then, probably! Ah, just looked - wasn't showing when I went on their orange main website but is on a blue alternative just-films one which I hadn't seen before. Checked again and now it's on the orange one too. Gremlins not poshness, then! |

Anyone who doesn't like Paul Thomas Anderson's past films will hate this. But anyone who enjoys his movies will find a lot to love. Live orchestras don't always gell well with films, but this was a real success. Throughly recommended.

I thought this was excellent, easily Andersons best film since There Will Be Blood. Hard to really describe the film in a few words without going into spoilers - it certainly will not be to a lot of peoples taste, but I hope this sweeps the board at the Oscars. I'm hoping DDL is going to get bored after resting a while and that this isn't the last we see of him - his performance in this isn't as full on as Bill the Butcher or Daniel Plainview (the nearest we get to any Milkshake speeches are some exquisitely timed F bombs) but it is excellent all the same, but the performance of Vicky Krieps is just as good (some people might even say she is better than Sir Daniel)

I caught up with this on Saturday and it was fine but nowhere near the best I've seen in what has so far been a very good year for films (that honour still goes to Three Billboards), and I doubt it will linger with me for long. I've rarely seen DDL in anything - think the last time was Lincoln, which I found a turgid ordeal - and though I've liked much of the director's work, There Will Be Blood sounded far too gruesome for me.
In this case I enjoyed the characterisation and acting more than the plot, especially one I realised the bizarre direction in which it was going. Great to see Lesley Manville (though it could equally have been Kristin Scott Thomas) pouting and sniffing, but I'd have liked her to have more to do than direct the odd withering glance/cutting remark at others.

Half the people on my Twitter feed are going on about this but I'm Daniel Day-Lewis agnostic (especially with the voice he's doing - reminds me too much of someone I didn't like*) so might wait for the Blu-Ray because I think Mum might find this interesting - she used to be a model in that era and met Hardy Amies (she liked him - friendly and kind to her - though he and Hartnell's designs were considered fuddy duddy by her generation)
(*this is an issue - there's an actress who looks so like my brother's ex that I can't watch anything she's in, because it's too distracting!)

I agree, I'm not quite sure it's an Oscar worthy performance really. It's a nice little part and she does it very well but I'm pretty sure many actresses could have played it in the same way just as successfully. It's very 'Maggie Smith plays Mrs Danvers'. |
