  promising first half that set the scene /initial character development well but got a bit whack after the South America trip, especially the Amazon section?!

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Jan 2025

  Really enjoyed first half, liked the style, covered some interesting themes and was intrigued to see where it would go.
  Sadly the second half did not live up to expectations- too many unresolved plot points left me confused (especially given heavy themes of rape, opioid addiction, alienation), and thought some scenes were merely fillers to contribute to running time. I wanted more coverage of Bauhaus/brutalist architecture. More attention was needed on overall narrative rather than stylistic features. 
  Also didn’t like the slightly Zionist undertones in second half- poor timing to be promoting this message.
