Cinemaholics #48: Phantom Thread Review

This week, the Cinemaholics review Phantom Thread, Forever My Girl, 12 Strong, Den of Thieves, The Alienist, Step Sisters and Mom and Dad.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s newest film, Phantom Thread is finally hitting more theaters, so the Cinemaholics have invited special guest Kimber Myers to help review it. Daniel Day-Lewis stars in what will apparently be his final film role ever (but hopefully not), along with Lesley Manville and Vicky Krieps, but does the pic deserve all of the Oscar hype it’s bound to get? The Cinemaholics discuss.
