I saw Phantom Thread mostly based on A.A. Dowd’s lovely review, and I’m sad to say that I didn’t like it as much as he did. Honestly, the huge audience I was surrounded by at the Music Box Theatre sat in confused silence for a few moments after it was over. Maybe I need to see it again. That said, it was still captivating to look at (loved the clothes), but it might have been even better to listen to. I had heard about Jonny Greenwood’s score before going into the movie, but I was still unprepared for how it seemed to encompass every scene, as a vibrant, almost jazz-esque classical musical line that heightened every one of the many emotional moments in the movie. Now I can’t stop listening to it, as it seems to score my day—transforming my regular life into a teal-shaded, misty one, albeit with much better costuming. [Gwen Ihnat]
