In 1950s London, Reynolds Woodcock is a celebrated dressmaker whose house runs on his routines, his moods and his sister's discipline. When a young woman enters his life, the order he has built is tested. A precise, darkly funny, intimate period drama.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining late-career work for Anderson and Day-Lewis, and a key example of twenty-first-century auteur filmmaking turning a period setting into a psychological study rather than a costume pageant.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a portrait of an artist's working habits, and notice how much the film says through routine, rooms and rituals.
