The Brutalist 2024
This is an actors film as Adrian Brody puts on a superb performance filled with so many different layers of pain and struggle.
Also as a whole, the film is a bit too long, and certain plot points weren't needed to help carry the story. But they still worked.
Also beautifully shot and in 35mm film, and not not see that plot point/ twist coming.
Overall you watch because of the nominations but you stay for the performance.
