Phantom Thread Review
A bore of a film that baffles on occasion. Phantom Thread offers viewers a shallow representation of a toxic relationship. The only thing it successfully achieves is reinforcing the tiresome stereotype of the man as the revered genius, and the girl as a naive muse in awe of him. With an oeuvre boasting the likes…
South American Refugee Crisis
In 2015, the Syrian civil-war lead to what was considered the greatest refugee crisis in modern history.
