positive · AI labelView post →If you are lucky enough to live near a movie theater that is showing The Brutalist, rush out and see it today. It's long, but you'll hardly notice.
positive · AI labelView post →THE BRUTALIST feels like a movie designed in a lab to be as unappealing to me as humanly possible.
negative · AI labelView post →Any movie over 3 hours long is a holiday season movie. Andrei Rublev, Seven Samurai, The Godfather, Jeanne Dielman, Fellowship of the Ring. Maybe go watch The Brutalist. Whatever. Sit down and enrich your life. You've probably got nothing going on today anyway.

neutral · AI labelView post →Don't read it until you've seen the movie, but once you have, here's my modest 2,988-word treatise on The Brutalist, basically a history of my unrequited longing to talk about the movie with someone else who had seen it: slate.com/culture/2025...
positive · AI labelView post →Anora would not have been my pick of the nominees (I preferred The Brutalist and Nickel Boys), but it's a terrific movie, Sean Baker is the best, and I'm always so glad when an outright comedy wins Best Picture. The cinema!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
positive · AI labelView post →Lot of movie runtimes are brutal but 3 hours 35 minutes is The Brutalist
neutral · AI labelView post →No one warned me so let me warn you: The Brutalist is a truly terrible film. Yes, Brody's performance is impressive. And there are some beautiful shots (not enough to carry 3.5 hrs..) But in story and style, it's eight films. And politically, it's like Atlas Shrugged and Exodus had a baby.

positive · AI labelView post →“Conclave” won the best movie title at the EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday — adding the latest twist to an awards season in which no one movie has dominated the major ceremonies. “Anora” and “The Brutalist” also took home top prizes.

positive · AI labelView post →I reviewed THE BRUTALIST, a singularly gorgeous film about the tension not just between reality and artistic vision, but between self-determination and life in a world reduced to the personal playground of occasionally merciful but ultimately predatory bigots. www.patreon.com/posts/122822...

While critics fawned over this epic story of American corruption and industry, Joe found this film to be overblown and didn't touch on the subjects he likes; meat, biscuits, heat and chasing mice. It's a zero out of ten from Joe.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched THE BRUTALIST tonight. Amazing film that I’ll be thinking about for a while. I’m puzzled by some of the choices but that matters less than the sheer ambition of the movie and how absolutely uncynical a creative project it is. Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce are excellent.
positive · AI labelView post →PSA for people planning to watch The Brutalist: *Do not see this movie if you are currently watching a season of What We Do in the Shadows"* Half of Felicity Jones's lines in this movie are her saying "László" in a Hungarian accent
negative · AI labelView post →I don't care about Awards shows because it's all mostly ridiculous but The Substance and Anora were far better than Emilia Perez. I think the Globes just dug that movie for some reason. Haven't seen The Brutalist yet.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Brutalist is an amazing film for one specific reason specifically and that is that it is shot in a way that makes you honest to god believe this is a biopic about some guy that actually existed
positive · AI labelView post →I really wanted to see The Brutalist but apparently they used AI to make it? Nah fuck that, I'm not touching it. Any movie that uses it I'm automatically skipping. Friggin ridiculous
negative · AI labelView post →Peggy the Moose reviews The Brutalist: "Though interesting and provocative, at the end of the day, the movie just didn't have enough moose."
neutral · AI labelView post →You remember that one ad campaign for the Kate Winslet/Idris Elba mountain movie where it just said, "THE DOG LIVES"? They need to do that for The Brutalist where it just says, "THERE'S AN INTERMISSION."

neutral · AI labelView post →To make fiction about a fictional artist is notoriously tricky because like, if you could write legendary symphonies, then you'd probably do that, not write a movie about a fictional writer of legendary symphonies. I agree "The Brutalist" somehow made it plausible that the guy was a major architect.
positive · AI labelView post →this is an atrocious attempt to understand THE BRUTALIST and especially the film's stunning opening
negative · AI labelView post →have to say it's incredibly refreshing and lovely to see an Oscar host who so infectiously clearly loves the medium and even when he made a "long movie" joke it was still fine since he also clearly really loved THE BRUTALIST. night is going well!

Nevertheless, I saw Brady Corbet's The Brutalist at NYFF today and...it is superb. Thrilling to see a young American filmmaker take this big a swing and connect. I wouldn't cut a frame.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's been a while since I've seen a film as engulfing as The Brutalist. Not to conflate scale with quality but that's a big meal of a movie. Thrillingly rich and beautiful. I'm glad it's possible to make something like that.
positive · AI labelView post →Anyone watch #BAFTA2025 last night? Conclave, The Brutalist dominated.. but did you know a film about, and shot in, #Ukraine was also a winner? "Rock, Paper, Scissors" based on events in the first days of #Russia's invasion, won best British short film. Congrats + vielen dank, Director Franz Böhm
