I can’t say enough about Brady Corbet and his vision here
It’s as if Vincent Van Gogh had created this absolute masterpiece of filmmaking. With a subtle yet highly effective and powerful sound design and score. Not to mention the stunning cinematography, every frame explodes to life before your eyes. As an original script, it’s truly a testament to how the film industry should be run. The Brutalist is a grounded story that takes you places emotionally I wasn’t prepared to go.
On to the acting
Such a deep and powerful story. I’m glad this movie is 3 hours and 35 minutes long because it has earned the right to take its time telling the story. And that’s 3 and a half hours of pure cinematic experience. I sat there for every scene in pure amazement. That’s how you make a movie.
Adrien Brody gives a masterclass in acting
It’s all there for the taking, the crying and screaming scenes, the subtle moments and gestures, the looks in his eyes. So much range in one movie that I don’t think I’ve seen a performance at this level in a while. Guy Pearce is absolutely stunning, sometimes terrifyingly terrifying. Felicity Jones enters the story later than I imagined, but manages to hold her head high, she is a real beauty to behold. In short, The Brutalist is a 3.5 hour spectacle that has earned its place in the world of cinema and then some.
