[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 215095, member: 15932"] [B]Review is full of spoilers [/B] I went to see this movie because the critics were going ga ga over it . The setting is 1950s London . Reynolds Wood{censored} ( Daniel Day Lewis ) is a famous fashion designer who creates dresses for high society , though I don't remember a single scene where he makes clothes for men ; it seems he makes clothes only for women . The movie showcases the memoirs of his wife Alma Elson ( Vicky Krieps ) as she tells the story to his doctor ( Brian Gleeson ) besides a fireplace . Wood{censored} is a confirmed bachelor until he meets Alma , but unlike fashion designers nowadays ( especially those who make clothes for women ) he is not gay ; maybe gay people had not captured the fashion industry in the 50s . He sees Alma who is a waitress at a restaurant where he orders his quirky order for food , and asks her out for date . Soon he is making a dress using her body as model ; his sister and partner Cyril ( Lesley Manville ) steps in to oversee the making of the dress . Alma soon discovers that Cyril is an indispensable part of Wood{censored}'s life ; she is everywhere they are . Wood{censored} is dominating and egoistic and quirky ; he does not like Alma making grating noises during buttering bread while he is concentrating and walks out . Of course , the noise was deliberately increased by the moviemakers in the soundtrack ; buttering bread does not make such loud sound normally . But the bickering does not stop at that ; Wood{censored} does not like the food Alma makes at a surprise romantic date and his sister has already warned that he does not like surprises anyway . But Wood{censored} has met his match in Alma ; earlier also she has shown her mettle when a rich lady does not behave properly but gets drunk and unconscious wearing a Wood{censored} designed dress . She makes Wood{censored} go with herself to the lady's bedroom and forcibly removes the dress from her body in a scene which made me wonder why the drunk lady did not file a case of outraging modesty on the two later . Now sensing that Wood{censored} is slipping from her hands , Alma poisons him and does not even let the family doctor treat him . Then she takes care of him and impresses him so much that he finally proposes marriage . Soon she is poisoning him whenever she wants to control the relationship and Wood{censored} who has realised what she is doing acquiesces in whatever she has been doing !! The lion has decided to get himself tamed.... Background music is most wonderful in the movie and acting by everyone is great . The dresses shown created by Wood{censored} are beautiful too . The only thing that was lacking in the situation was a viewer having real taste in movies . Sorry but I as a viewer / reviewer lack the taste to fully appreciate such a movie and I thought it was okay but not as great as the reviewers were saying . Verdict---Okay . Two and a half stars out of five . [/QUOTE]
