    The Brutalist

    ★★★★½

    the city of chicago reinstated the sweetened beverage tax after i consumed gallons of diet coke watching this film at alamo draft house

    (looks incredible, sounds amazing) compelling story, major plot points become minor conflicts, supporting the narrative instead of driving it, allowing themes to shine, puzzling but nuanced

    The Brutalist, Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, none of these 3 hour “epics” will remain in my memory like Magnolia…

    Brody’s performance was wonderful, but I think Finnes deserves the oscar for Conclave

    “intellectually stimulating”

    Zero bud lights, but the weed at many moments had me think—this is like dark knight level good, is it better? But then I fell asleep. It took me 3 nights to watch this movie. And heck, I’d watch it again. I own it on prime.
