    The Brutalist

    ★★★½

    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). Joe Alwyn is great, especially in the last dinner scene where he sort of regresses into a little boy,…

    I probably would have enjoyed this movie a lot more if my teacher didn’t pause it every 2min to explain each frame (it's not that deep)

    Fun soundtrack! Jack Nicholson lite unfortunately for Ray. Samara Weaving, you could do no wrong in a horror movie.

    ★★★★

    Fun thriller and much more interesting than Saltburn. I do think the first half with the obsession is better, but the second half is still good with PSH having a good bit. Damon, Law, Paltrow and Blanchette all look so good under the Italian sun ughhh

    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.
