  Rio de Janeiro in the 70s looks amazing, minus the dictatorship.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Feb 2025

  Pros: Stunning images, phenomenal performances and a somewhat hypnotic soundtrack. Cons: Insane runtime, though the intermission helps a little. The film is intellectually stimulating, to a fault. The complexity and breadth of ideas laid out is at times overwhelming, and too much for the average viewer to digest.

  As big as it needed to be; a visual and musical delight . It could be 20 minutes shorter but we’ll let it slide.
