    The Brutalist

    ★★★★½

    The Brutalist definitely lives up to its title. Not only for its lengthy run time, scenes that provoke heavy emotions alongside its themes, but also a great and unforgiving trek through faith, art, morality, ambition, and the dream.

    Iwai's Love Letter is a visual ode to love, death, and life - all in that same order. The film shows us how to accept things that were once present in…
