László Tóth býval architektem evropského věhlasu, než z něj v koncentračním táboře kvůli jeho židovskému původu udělali pouhé číslo a čekatele na smrt. Válku se mu podařilo přežít, hned po ní ale raněnou Evropu opustil, aby zapomněl. Stejně jako mnozí jiní, i on se pokusil o restart ve stínu sochy Svobody, jenže zjistil, že pověst výjimečného architekta zůstala doma v Budapešti a že příslovečný Americký sen není garantován pro každého. Malou útěchou je zjištění, že i jeho manželka dokázala přežít hrůzy koncentračního tábora a že jen nedostatek peněz na cestu jí brání v tom, aby se znovu shledali. Karta se začne skutečně obracet až ve chvíli, kdy se László setká s mecenášem Van Burenem, který uvidí jeho potenciál a začne ho velkoryse podporovat.
- Hakihiko30. dubna 2026Ambitious, Beautiful, but Weighed Down by Itself "The Brutalist" is a film that immediately feels grand in both scope and intention. The first half is genuinely impressive, drawing you in with confidence, atmosphere, and a strong sense of purpose. It is the kind of start that makes you think you are watching something truly special, maybe even something that could reach a much higher level. The performances are excellent and committed, carrying the emotional and thematic weight with conviction. There is a clear sense of depth in the characters, and that helps anchor the film even as it grows more complex. Visually, it is striking. The scale, the composition, and the overall aesthetic create something that feels big and carefully crafted. The soundtrack supports this vision well, adding to the sense of weight and importance that the film is aiming for. The script, especially in the first half, is engaging and thoughtful, building its themes with confidence. However, as it progresses, it starts to feel overwhelmed by its own material. The pacing becomes heavier, and the narrative loses some clarity, as if it is trying to carry too much at once without fully controlling it. That is where the film loses part of its impact. The ambition remains, but the execution becomes less focused, making the second half feel less sharp and more difficult to fully connect with. Still, what stands out is how close it gets to something greater. It is big, beautiful, and full of ideas, and with a slightly more controlled approach, it could have been something truly exceptional. Even as it is, it remains a compelling and worthwhile experience.
- Braden12. února 2025Brady Corbet's The Brutalist is one of the most exciting features of the decade. This sweeping epic is helmed by Adrien Brody, who plays architect László Tóth - a Jewish immigrant trying to survive in Post-WW2 America. Exceptional art direction, beautiful cinematography, a commanding soundtrack and wonderful performances from Brody, Pearce and Felicity Jones make The Brutalist a must-watch for any fan of the medium. While I have a few qualms with the third act, as a whole - I thoroughly enjoyed The Brutalist - no doubt improved upon by the 35mm print screening and 15 minute intermission. Movies are awesome!
- EFCIDIA Media Server21. března 2025I went into The Brutalist expecting something at least interesting. The premise had potential, and the early visuals hinted at a layered story. But as the movie progressed, any sense of intrigue slowly faded. By the time it ended, I didn’t feel connected, challenged, or even entertained. There was no emotional payoff, no lingering questions, no reason to hit play again. It’s not that it was bad—it just didn’t leave a mark. A film that promises depth but delivers a flat, forgettable experience.
- Joe G21. prosince 2025This was a film avoided for a long time. There was little desire to engage with it, largely due to exhaustion with stories built around antisemitism—subjects too often presented to extract emotion rather than understanding, reduced to something bordering on emotional indulgence. Perhaps going in with expectations that low allowed the film to overdeliver. Everything about this film reflects how movies should be made. It shows rather than tells. The story unfolds through scenes and interactions that quietly but decisively communicate theme and purpose. There are almost no explicit statements of feeling or intention; instead, meaning emerges through behavior, environment, and implication. The deeper truths are never announced, only suggested—and they are harsher for it. The music sustains engagement throughout, doing what so many films strain to achieve and fail at. This is not a biopic, nor is it simply a film about postwar antisemitism. It’s difficult to reduce it to a single subject. It is about creation, survival, humanity, immigration, and class—about what it means to endure and build in a world that resists both. There may never be a more beautifully shot film. That is its undeniable center. Every frame is composed with intention and care; nothing feels careless or incidental. This is what cinema used to be, and what it is still capable of being—a masterclass in visual storytelling, in translating words and ideas into images that do the work on their own. The ending is the lone exception. It is the only moment where the film directly tells the audience what to think. While the clarity is appreciated, the shift feels abrupt, as if that final statement is placed on top of the film rather than emerging organically from it.
- Tanalien30. ledna 2025The Brutalist is about the American Dream, with an intermission that wisely divides two halves of the film which tell very different stories about America. If you stopped watching halfway through, you would walk out of the theater with a smile on your face. But if you wait until the end, you will leave with a strange feeling. It is a feeling that only arrives when a filmmaker tries to deconstruct one of our central beliefs. The American Dream is a fundamental reason for centuries of America’s success. Its mythology is central to the American identity, but what do we make of ultimate form? I will leave that for you to find out. Corbet has crafted an American epic in the same fashion as the great films of the twentieth century - on large-format film stock, with a thematic score, featuring some of the best actors of our time. In The Brutalist, he takes huge swings at a central pillar of our society - not with malicious intent, but with the wisdom of a filmmaker to ask questions of us. His film will live for a long time: What will be our reply?
- tellum21. srpna 2025Simply put the movie did not need to be this long, not even close. There was good acting, it was beautifully shot, and the story was good up to a point, but the meandering and the third act in general just made it too difficult to enjoy. There is a particular scene that served no purpose and seemed only to be for vulgar shock value, which also didn’t help.
