To anyone who thinks the ending is too simplistic and attempts to tie things up in a nice bow, do you really think “it is the destination, not the journey” was meant to be taken at face value? Zsofia—like much of America trying to sell how great the “American Dream”…
diego andaluzJan 13, 2025i had to use the restroom and walked back in during the first Handjob scene. was really awkward. Then like 15 mins later there was an intermission and I didn’t need to go to the restroom anymore so i played angry birds on my phone. Had to use the restroom again during the…

i simply cannot accept the fact that lászló tóth isn't a real person... i just got tár'd again
júliaJan 4, 2025gargantuan. there is a single shot near the end of this film where felicity jones nearly steals the whole thing in one fell swoop. over three hours in and i could hardly believe the build up had led to such a simplisticly monsterous scene, and so much of it clicked…
LucyDec 6, 2024The kind of movie that uses newsreel inserts to explain to the audience concepts like “Pennsylvania” and “heroin”.

Guy Pearce’s unwavering support for Palestine on this press tour is the only reason I’m not writing off completely. This movie was breathtaking- literally, I found myself gasping at some shots and parts of the score. Brody, Pearce, and Alwyn were phenomenal, and the first…
Mia K.Jan 17, 2025shoutout to concrete gotta be one of my favorite building materials
maiapogJan 28, 2025It's difficult to articulate why this didn't fully work for me. The performances and direction were solid but the story felt like a rather stock deconstruction of the American Dream, one that rarely surprised or engaged me. I'll take this over an Emilia Perez win in any…

- Clay Werner likedThe Brutalist
8.0 - This is a really hard one for me to rate, even after sitting with it for over 48 hours. It’s undeniably a technical masterpiece. It’s massive in story, scale, & performance. But I’m not sure it completely justifies itself and it’s 3.5 hour run time. Adrien Brody gives an incredible, moving…
Andrikk0s likedThe BrutalistIf I had a nickel for every time Adrien Brody was in a movie during or after the events of WW2, while his character is very artistic, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
ADG likedThe BrutalistOne of the best opening sequences I’ve seen
- Cinematic Joshua is "meh" onThe Brutalist
A messy, drawn-out Drama with needless shouting, vehicle POVs, creepy handjobs, “intellectuality stimulating conversations,” convoluted narration, and overbearing music. It builds from its strong performances on a shaky ground of bizarre creative materials and a…
Carson Withers lovedThe BrutalistA symphony of a film about a man who birthed a seemingly aggressive style with a secret sentimental punch

Piotr Matyja dislikedThe BrutalistFeels like a 3 hours student film
Broccolee lovedThe BrutalistThe second act had its problems, but there was so much right in this incredibly ambitious undertaking that I can’t help but feel like it deserves to take its place near - if not among - the greats. A lot of the work was score, performances, and cinematography, not so much script.
Jackdiddlywack is "meh" onThe BrutalistThe cinematography, acting, set design, and soundtrack were amazing. A very visually appealing movie. I feel bamboozled though. I was hoping for a biopic with the introduction to the world of brutalism but I felt it was shallow in that regard.

MLMark LudasLike 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…
JDJodi DelaneyGreat acting! A tad bit too long for my taste, but beautiful filming, story and style.

Great production. Extraordinary photography. Some things felt out of place and dark.

Some typical A24 self-indulgence here but overall moving beautiful film. (15 min intermission 👍)

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.
