Synopsis
Starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce.
UK release 24th January 2025.
Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.
Jamie Graham, Empire Magazine, says in his 5-star review
"Brady Corbet’s seismic drama reaches for the sky as it surveys the soul of a man and a nation. There will be Oscars."
Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK), says in her 5-star review
"It’s not a film to devour, but to be devoured by. There’s such a weight to it that it creates its own field of gravity."
Tom Davidson, London Evening Standard, says in his 5-star review
"It is impossible not to recognise The Brutalist as anything other than a filmmaking triumph."
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian, says in his 5-star review
"It is an electrifying piece of work, stunningly shot by cinematographer Lol Crawley and superbly designed by Judy Becker. I emerged from this movie light-headed and euphoric, dizzy with rubbernecking at its monumental vastness."
