The Brutalist

so much to say. how visually stunning this film looks on a $10 mil budget is frankly insane. the scenes in italy of the marble quarry were breathtaking. it’s a good thing that this film didn’t go in the direction i thought it would, but i’m on the fence about the ending. performances were amazing all around. didn’t know i’d find so much satisfaction in seeing joe alwyn play a prick! i think the most important thing is that the pacing in this is IMPECCABLE. very few dull moments for a narrative that could’ve been simply that. it features a sad handjob for crying out loud
