unlabelledView post →If you are lucky enough to live near a movie theater that is showing The Brutalist, rush out and see it today. It's long, but you'll hardly notice.
unlabelledView post →THE BRUTALIST feels like a movie designed in a lab to be as unappealing to me as humanly possible.
unlabelledView post →Any movie over 3 hours long is a holiday season movie. Andrei Rublev, Seven Samurai, The Godfather, Jeanne Dielman, Fellowship of the Ring. Maybe go watch The Brutalist. Whatever. Sit down and enrich your life. You've probably got nothing going on today anyway.

unlabelledView post →Don't read it until you've seen the movie, but once you have, here's my modest 2,988-word treatise on The Brutalist, basically a history of my unrequited longing to talk about the movie with someone else who had seen it: slate.com/culture/2025...
unlabelledView post →Anora would not have been my pick of the nominees (I preferred The Brutalist and Nickel Boys), but it's a terrific movie, Sean Baker is the best, and I'm always so glad when an outright comedy wins Best Picture. The cinema!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unlabelledView post →Lot of movie runtimes are brutal but 3 hours 35 minutes is The Brutalist
unlabelledView post →No one warned me so let me warn you: The Brutalist is a truly terrible film. Yes, Brody's performance is impressive. And there are some beautiful shots (not enough to carry 3.5 hrs..) But in story and style, it's eight films. And politically, it's like Atlas Shrugged and Exodus had a baby.

unlabelledView post →Most manageable heroin addiction on film? I’d say The Brutalist. Guy really didn’t let it get in the way of anything. And it seemed to fix his wife’s legs. Not bad!
unlabelledView post →“Conclave” won the best movie title at the EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday — adding the latest twist to an awards season in which no one movie has dominated the major ceremonies. “Anora” and “The Brutalist” also took home top prizes.

unlabelledView post →I reviewed THE BRUTALIST, a singularly gorgeous film about the tension not just between reality and artistic vision, but between self-determination and life in a world reduced to the personal playground of occasionally merciful but ultimately predatory bigots. www.patreon.com/posts/122822...

unlabelledView post →One cat who doesn't care for long movies like The Brutalist is Joe. While critics fawned over this epic story of American corruption and industry, Joe found this film to be overblown and didn't touch on the subjects he likes; meat, biscuits, heat and chasing mice. It's a zero out of ten from Joe.

unlabelledView post →Watched THE BRUTALIST tonight. Amazing film that I’ll be thinking about for a while. I’m puzzled by some of the choices but that matters less than the sheer ambition of the movie and how absolutely uncynical a creative project it is. Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce are excellent.
unlabelledView post →PSA for people planning to watch The Brutalist: *Do not see this movie if you are currently watching a season of What We Do in the Shadows"* Half of Felicity Jones's lines in this movie are her saying "László" in a Hungarian accent
unlabelledView post →I don't care about Awards shows because it's all mostly ridiculous but The Substance and Anora were far better than Emilia Perez. I think the Globes just dug that movie for some reason. Haven't seen The Brutalist yet.
unlabelledView post →‘THE BRUTALIST’ is now an Oscar-winning film. See the full winners list: bit.ly/OscarWins25
unlabelledView post →The Brutalist is an amazing film for one specific reason specifically and that is that it is shot in a way that makes you honest to god believe this is a biopic about some guy that actually existed
unlabelledView post →I really wanted to see The Brutalist but apparently they used AI to make it? Nah fuck that, I'm not touching it. Any movie that uses it I'm automatically skipping. Friggin ridiculous
unlabelledView post →Peggy the Moose reviews The Brutalist: "Though interesting and provocative, at the end of the day, the movie just didn't have enough moose."
unlabelledView post →You remember that one ad campaign for the Kate Winslet/Idris Elba mountain movie where it just said, "THE DOG LIVES"? They need to do that for The Brutalist where it just says, "THERE'S AN INTERMISSION."

unlabelledView post →To make fiction about a fictional artist is notoriously tricky because like, if you could write legendary symphonies, then you'd probably do that, not write a movie about a fictional writer of legendary symphonies. I agree "The Brutalist" somehow made it plausible that the guy was a major architect.
unlabelledView post →this is an atrocious attempt to understand THE BRUTALIST and especially the film's stunning opening
unlabelledView post →have to say it's incredibly refreshing and lovely to see an Oscar host who so infectiously clearly loves the medium and even when he made a "long movie" joke it was still fine since he also clearly really loved THE BRUTALIST. night is going well!

unlabelledView post →It's been a while since I've seen a film as engulfing as The Brutalist. Not to conflate scale with quality but that's a big meal of a movie. Thrillingly rich and beautiful. I'm glad it's possible to make something like that.

unlabelledView post →Dudes, I thought THE RAID: REDEMPTION was brutal, but this new Adrien Brody movie is THE BRUTALIST.
unlabelledView post →I had a very long flight so I watched The Brutalist. For a three and a half hour film about a man building a building, it takes some fucking chutzpah to get rid of the “building the building” part of the story in *montage* at the two and a bit hour mark. IN MONTAGE. Grand Designs for film twats.
