Oscar-Nominated Film 'Phantom Thread' Is Not Jennifer Lawrence's Kind of Movie
"Red Sparrow" star Jennifer Lawrence recently slammed Oscar Best Picture nominee "Phantom Thread," saying she could only get through the first three minutes of the movie before turning it off. In a recent interview, the Oscar winner got the chance to share her thoughts about "Phantom Thread" and frankly said that's not her kind of movie.
Lawrence has been busy promoting "Red Sparrow" for the past few days, gracing interviews left and right. As the Academy Awards approaches, many are wondering which of the contenders will take home the Best Picture. At least for Lawrence, it cannot be Paul Thomas Anderson's "Phantom Thread."
Asked about her thoughts about the movie, Lawrence apologized to everyone who loved the movie but remained firm that she would not watch it. "I got through about three minutes. I put in a good solid three... I'm sorry to anybody who loved that movie. I couldn't give that kind of time. It was three minutes and I was just like... oof... I mean, is it just about clothes? Is he kind of like a narcissistic sociopath and he's like an artist so every girl falls in love with him because he makes her feel bad about herself and that's the love story? I've been down that road, I know what that's like, I don't need to watch that movie," she said.
