I am using words like 'possibly' a lot when describing the feelings and motivations of the characters here, and it's because this movie doesn't give you answers, and that's what makes it challenging, and therefore worth seeing. All things are possibilities and there are infinite more. Again this may be because she is in love with him, or maybe she has never gotten close enough to another man to know how a relationship works, or maybe she secretly has the same need for power and control that Reynolds does, and not having it is maddening to her. Alma's newfound sense of self-worth drives her to break down the rigid shell of Reynolds in order for him to prioritize her more. Reynolds is detached, possibly out of fear of falling in love or ruining his routine, possibly not. I hesitate to call this film a 'romance' or a 'love story.' I rather refer to the relationship between Reynolds and Alma as a great game: a game to see which one of them will get the other to make the necessary changes in order for their relationship to either become stronger, or fall apart. Alma is a polite and self-conscious woman who immediately allows herself to become vulnerable in the confident-if-demanding arms of Reynolds. There, they immediately take an interest in each other. After a particularly stressful day he makes a solo sojourn to a diner where he meets Alma. Reynolds Woodcock is one of the mid-twentieth century's greatest dress-makers, his greatness brought about by his fiercely stringent routine and slavish devotion to his craft over any personal relationships. Although there are great supporting characters to be found here, particularly from Leslie Manville's performance as Reynold's stoic but well-mannered assistant, Cyril, this is a story about the relationship between two people: Reynolds Woodcock and Alma. The credit for this phenomenon is all round. even more rare when it comes to movies about dresses. An entire theater of people, singularly invested in what was on the screen. From scene one to the final, not a single person left the theater, not a single person talked or cracked a joke, and nobody took out their phone. This is a splendid film and one of the most captivating experiences I have had at a movie theater in quite some time. I say allegedly because similar rumors surrounded Lincoln, but given his famous selectivity regarding films, I am inclined to believe him and if this is truly his final performance, bravo on an unimpeachable career, sir (he won't read this). Moreover this allegedly will be the final performance of Daniel Day-Lewis' brilliant career. Most of the interest in this movie will stem from the reunion of Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson, star and director of There Will Be Blood, respectively.
