Like the films of Robert eggers, strong on visuals and light on plot. However, it is a compelling depiction of postwar trauma, as though the self never quite feels safe ever again. Quite an achievement, and not boring. But I would've liked more to think and feel about, as well as look at.

If The Brutalist were not so wedded to audiovisual effect, it might play like a lost Great American Novel.

The Brutalist argues, and proves by its very existence, that the maddening thing about major works of art is that they demand invention and resources and cooperation.

Despite its occasional flaws, The Brutalist is one of the most remarkable films of the year, and proof that Corbet is a fascinating filmmaker to keep an eye on.
