Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (“Hard Eight,” “Boogie Nights,” “Magnolia,” “Punch-Drunk Love,” “There Will Be Blood,” “The Master,” “Inherent Vice”) and released to most U.S. cinemas Jan. 19, “The Phantom Thread” received positive reviews from 98% of “top critics” polled by the Rotten Tomatoes website. (Despite all the good notices and the fact that it marked Daniel Day Lewis’ retirement from movie acting, the movie garnered less than $48 million worldwide. Huh!)
