Phantom Thread (2017)

There's something almost hypnotic about watching Reynolds Woodcock work. The way he moves through his world, completely in control, every stitch deliberate. And then Alma walks in and ruins everything in the best possible way. What I love is that the film doesn't pretend love is about finding someone who fits neatly into your life. Sometimes it's about finding someone who disrupts you just enough to make you feel alive again. The poisoning thing is weird, sure, but also kind of makes sense? Like, here's a man who needs to be knocked down occasionally to remember he's human.
