The Brutalist: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

If whispered monologues were currency, The Brutalist would settle the national debt.

The Brutalist has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

The Brutalist confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Unpopular opinion: The Brutalist is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought The Brutalist was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Brutalist?
Look, I wanted to love The Brutalist. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in The Brutalist is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of The Brutalist and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
