Thank you for this! Pre-ordered and listening to the single at the moment. What a lovely cue. Cannot wait for this to come out. Just gorgeous.
Greenwood is really underrated imo. Also the author of what I consider arguably the best score of the new millennium, There Will be Blood....and Williams is my all time fave composer so I don't think I'm biased.

I've seen Phantom Thread, and it is a fascinating, gorgeous film.
The performances, direction, cinematography, design, scoring and costuming are excellent. What is fascinating about it is that it harkens to older classical find, British in particular, but has this very subtle off-center, almost perverse undercurrent about it. Its pure Paul Thomas Anderson, but its almost like early David Lean mixed with David Lynch. It's long but it's a pleasure to watch such masterful filmmaking and performances. The film has almost non-stop underscoring - both original music, classical pieces and period popular music. Often each sequence is almost like a musical movement. I plan to get the CD too.

I found the film neither brilliant or profound or much of anything other than a bore. The score was okay, nothing more. My opinion. I used to think Anderson was interesting, but I can't stomach any of his films from the past decade.

Interesting to read the different comments about this film/score. Personally, found this to be absolutely wonderful on many levels: The acting , cinematography, storyline and score. It seems to all come together and would highly recommended this to anyone. In any case, this is definitely one to be seen on the big screen. Regarding the score specifically, I look forward to hearing a recording but at this stage can say that it serves the film very well. Hope you all enjoy it too!
