Quick Hit

The Phantom of the Opera leaves a mood behind, and that matters more than its rougher edges. The atmosphere keeps the heart beating.

Full Take

What stays with me here isn’t the plot beat, it’s the emotional bruise underneath it. Even at its most fragile, it knows how to leave a mark. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The haunting works because loss is sitting right under the surface. That keeps it from greatness, but not from mattering.
