The Brutalist
What does it mean to pursue “the American dream”? This film is monumental, thrilling, emotional, quiet and observant, loud and furious. It is less-than-perfect but it offers a rare reminder of what film is at its best. While ambitious and grandiose, The Brutalist effectively perfects the tiny details, movement and sound. Adrien Brody has returned and with him comes a genius new director, Brady Corbet. So much to love about this.
