The Brutalist 2024
Inclination upon first viewing is to *almost* fully subscribe to the view that it's from Zsofia's perspective, which helps explain why even it's hard not to be extremely sympathetic to even Lazlo's greatest faults (not many), the oddness of some scenes near the end of Part Two, and the added oddness of the Epilogue. But that leads to some surprisingly bold places when it comes to the film's themes about intergenerational bonds, architectural purpose, and faith.
