    The Brutalist

    ★★★★

    First half is tremendous - it builds patiently and atmospherically. Soundtrack goated. Cinematography goated. Guy Pierce goated. Second half in retrospect was mostly justified but at the time felt more meandering - with the length, I think it needed more of a clear feeling of progression. Ending incredibly jarring. I have been persuaded it has merit but I disliked it nonetheless. Overall the film had vision, it felt like cinema. Goodum!

    A jolly ol' bit of body horror from Mr. Cronenberg. He isn't gratuitous with gory imagery, but when he shows it, he frames it front and centre with rim light to boot!
