(spoilers for The Favourite and Phantom Thread abound) I wanted to be turned on by Phantom Thread; I really did. I was so excited to be, and so many of my friends lost their minds telling me that it was, like, a movie about kink but, like, a serious movie about kink. Even better, nothing in the trailer at all made it look like a movie About Kink, which made me feel even more certain that I was going to go see this movie and find it obscurely hot in the way everyone I knew hinted I would. How exciting! Then I went to see it and it made me want to peel off my own skin.
