“A battle-of-the-sexes comedy that ruthlessly strips away layers of archetype and artifice.”
—Sight & Sound
“A triumph of stitchery, combining disparate colors and textures into an apparently seamless garment. To watch it for the first time is to be continually teased by contradictory possibilities.”
—NYRB
Wintry in its setting and perversely frosty in its narrative of an imperious fashion designer (Daniel Day-Lewis) in midcentury London whose relationships with the women in his life mushroom into something beyond his control. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this is a deeply satisfying and savagely dark film.
