Phantom Thread (2017) ***1/2

I wrote in my original review of Phantom Thread (2017) (here) that I needed an additional viewing to properly gauge how I feel about it. Now that I've had that second viewing, I think I feel the same. That is to say, the technique is virtually flawless—the costumes, production design and acting is all high caliber. But Thread still feels too straightforward for a PTA film. It's still my least favorite of his, but it's still very good and it looks fantastic in 4K on the UHD (though it looked fantastic when I saw it initially on 70mm too).
