    The Brutalist wasn’t just about art and design—it was about survival, about defying time as the world fell apart. Adrien Brody as László Toth felt inevitable, like he was meant for this. The cinematography and score didn’t just support the film; they carried it, every frame and sound deliberate. It all synced seamlessly that I forgot about how long the film was. War shifts, people move, but design stays.

    I had a feeling that “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” was about to drop in the final act, with all the Kubrick-inspired staging and references from the beginning .

    The whole thing feels like chasing something you can’t reach. The depiction of perfection and imperfection visually and technically ,how everyday is messy, addictive, and obsessive , yet somehow reflects the way life just keeps moving, whether you like it or not.

    Coralie pulled of one of a kind stuff.

    What’s up with the Tarantino girls from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? First Margaret Qualley blew us away, and now Mikey Madison delivers a deeply captivating performance, adding intensity and vulnerability to the story, that leaves a mark.

    Baker crafts something raw and powerful here. Every character and the layered dogma surrounding them pull you in, with Baker perfectly extracting just the right emotions by making it both hilarious and deeply miserable for the audience, capturing an absurd reality.
