The Brutalist 2024
Feeling very conflicted about The Brutalist (few spoilers but nothing too detailed).
The performances are good. Adrien Brody has pretty much mastered this type of character. Guy Pearce is good and he's effective in conveying the message of this movie. Felicity Jones is decen but I didn't love what she was given. Raffey Cassidy kind of got a nothing character (acting-wise).

Melancholia 2011
I was rooting for the planet to kill everyone ngl.
Very beautiful even despite the weird Office-like close ups. Performances are quite strong and represent an interesting view of depression and existential dread in the face of extinction. The wealthy setting does not help us empathize with anyone that is seen on screen. The juice is in the second half mostly with a wandering first half.
