Across Hampshire…

Catch Phantom Thread (15) in Hampshire cinemas this weekend. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers his final screen performance before self-imposed retirement as a perfectionist dressmaker in Paul Thomas Anderson's artfully stitched drama, which is set in the salons of 1950s London. It's another flawless embodiment of the emotionally crippled male psyche, deliciously complicated by an ambiguous sexuality and a softly spoken fastidiousness that doesn't extend to personal relationships... except for an uncomfortably close bond to a ferocious, purse-lipped sister, played with scorching intensity by Lesley Manville.

They are a formidable double act and you genuinely fear for the sanity of sweet-natured waitress (Vicky Krieps) when she strays into the siblings' tortuous web. Two's toxic company, three's a potentially murderous crowd.
