. . The Brutalist:The Brutalist is a painting that comes to life on the screen. It's as if Vincent Van Gogh created this absolute masterpiece of direction.
Such a deep and powerful story
Not to mention the stunning cinematography, every frame bursting into life before your very eyes. I cannot speak highly enough of Brady Corbet and his vision here. This being an original script is truly a testament to how the film industry should be run.The Brutalist is a grounded story that takes you to places emotionally that I was not prepared to go to. I'm glad this film is 3 hours and 35 minutes long because it earns its right to take its time to tell the story.
Adrien Brody teaches a masterclass in acting
And this is 3 and a half hours of pure a cinematic experience. I sat there for every scene in pure awe. This is how you make a film.On to the acting. It's all there for you to witness, the crying shouting scenes, the subtle moments and gestures, the looks in his eyes.
Guy Pearce is totally stunning, terrifyingly terrifying at times
So much range in one movie that I don't think I've seen a performance on this level in some time. Felicity Jones comes into the story later than I imagined she would've but she can completely hold her head high, she's a true beauty to behold. 39;s earned its place in the world of cinema and then some. Brady Corbet is a visionary genius, and I look forward to seeing many more of his projects.The Brutalist = 9.8/10.
