Just look at the women who wear the extravagant frocks designed by Reynolds Woodcock as played to austere perfection by Daniel Day-Lewis in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film Phantom Thread. At a premiere in early December, at the Harold Pratt House, Daniel Day-Lewis stayed just long enough to take pictures with his three women, Manville, Harris, and Krieps before taking off. Vicky Krieps, in a red lace Alexander McQueen, told those gathering around her, she’s from Luxembourg, and lives in Berlin, and procrastinated her taped audition thinking this was a student film. Meantime, it is hard to imagine a performer as good as Daniel Day-Lewis signing off acting after this movie. Through the awards season, with particular attention to his Reynolds Woodcock, everyone is betting, certainly hoping, for more.
