THE BRUTALIST is an immense tower of American epic storytelling. A sweeping immigrant story standing in for countless others on the power of influence, servitude & building a lasting legacy all in pursuit of the American dream. Complex, vast & utterly mesmerizing for all three and a half hours. Adrian Brody’s most fully-realized and best work since The Pianist as an empathetic Hungarian architect. Guy Pearce is sensational & Felicity Jones emits strength & raw emotion. The score balances delicacy with overwhelming power while the cinematography captures the awe-inspiring classical filmmaking of the past making the timely film feel timeless. One of, if not the best of the year.
