    The Brutalist

    ★★½

    What a head scratcher.

    At best? A middling critique of the American dream. At worst? A Zionist Trojan Horse, meant to seduce you to the “necessity” of a Jewish state. 

    The Brutalist attempts to demonstrate the violation of immigrants, both mind and body. Does it achieve that well? Does it really say anything meaningful beyond that? I fear it fails on both counts.

    The first half had pieces of greatness, spoiled by a second half that was undeniably a mess…

    ★★½

    This could have been made in 2014 and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

    Enjoyed the world building and Spaeny’s work, but unfortunately the script feels too generic to give the film a lot of credit.

    Cillian Murphy. Monumental.
