The Brutalist

It is so specific, lived-in and vibrant that you want to spend more time in this world even when it's harrowing.

To behold “The Brutalist” and wish Brady Corbet showed more restraint entirely misses the essence...

Brady Corbet’s seismic drama reaches for the sky as it surveys the soul of a man and a nation. There will be Oscars.

It is a movie of towering scale, gravity and technical accomplishment.

Felicity Jones nearly steals the show.

A deeply personal story told on a grand scale.

Masterfully shot and directed, with a standout performances from Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce. 

Some of the themes and a chunk of the writing didn’t work for me, but the commentary on the failed American Dream is solid

The Brutalist is a historical film with almost no concrete history or historical reference points, taking place during a period...of explosive developments...&#59; a film about artists and intellectuals who barely discuss art and intellectual problems.

The Brutalist shows that there is no definitive answer or escape from the aftermath of the Holocaust. It is a conflict so brutal that it may be disguised, but never completely resolved. [Full review in Spanish]

The Brutalist is a stunner. A dream for cinephiles everywhere but this is the Holy Grail for film scholars: an instant, definitive entry into film canon.
