Phantom Thread (2017)
Paul Thomas Anderson's beautiful Phantom Thread follows high fashion dress designer Reynolds Woodcock, an impossible perfectionist, through one of many romantic flings, this time with Vicky Krieps' Alma. He is played by Daniel Day Lewis in his final performance before announcing his retirement from acting in 2017 (although that wasn't the first time) He employs his usual method acting commitment to the performance, becoming a dress makers apprentice for a year in preparation.

You Were Never Really Here(2017)
Joaquin Phoenix (and his impressive beard) plays Joe, a destructive force of nature with a shady past who is hired to rescue a kidnapped girl from human traffickers. Do not be fooled though, this is not Taken, there is some real artistry here. Much of the violence is off screen so left to the imagination, which may be even more unbearable. Lynne Ramsay directs.
