Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Tóth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.
Don’t let the marathon length scare you away. Because parallel to its grand scale is its outstanding quality. As the year comes to a close, The Brutalist finally hands us the bewitching epic for adults that 2024 otherwise lacked.
★★★★
Brody and Pearce vividly manifest Corbet’s arguments about the clash between art and money, between the old world and the new. When they are blazing away on screen together, The Brutalist swells to epic size.
★★★★★
A great American director has announced his presence with a majestic, complicated, somewhat vexing and altogether entrancing film.
