  Before and After 1996

  ★★½ Rewatched 26 Mar 2025

  My other biggest takeaway is that their house is GORGEOUS. Otherwise this film is a shrug.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  More glass.

  There's a part of you always standing by
  Mapping out the sky
  Finishing a community center 
  Starting on a community center 
  Finishing a community center ...
  Look, László Tóth made a community center...
  Where there never was a community center
