The Brutalist 2024
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe themselves to be free."
The Brutalist is an impressive balancing act of deep, fleshed out characters and commentary on the migrant experience as a whole in America. It’s a balancing act that I think is successful in both aspects.
Adrien Brody makes you believe in Laszlo Toth, feel his pain. He would be the easy best actor pick for me were it not for the AI accent question marks. Guy…

The dialogue too, was quite enjoyable with funny references and interesting debates, I was never bored. Also, exceptional ending mirroring some of the best…
