  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Feb 2025

  Great acting and cinematography but felt a bit empty by the end like a lot of sound and noise signifying nothing.

  A series of smart choices by Mr Guthleben cleverly utilised the claustrophobic setting to bring the audience into the protagonist’s POV and spiralling paranoia. I enjoyed the vivid dreamscape lighting à la Dario Argento and the great viewpoint sound design - reminded me of Fincher’s recent use in The Killer.

  Very few can straddle the line between comedy and horror, but like Sam Raimi in Evil Dead 2, Mr Guthleben has succeeded.

  The pizza looked ok though. Would have eaten for sure.
