The Brutalist is a monumental epic that wrestles with the American dream, capitalism’s vagaries, the immigrant experience, and antisemitism, in an engrossing three-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Joe Alwyn reflects on the film's challenges, noting, 'it ticks most boxes of what you're not meant to make as a film these days: length, content, all of that.'
Even with its critical acclaim and Oscar buzz, Alwyn expresses surprise at its potential success, saying 'who knows, maybe it still will? I hope not.'
The film has garnered comparisons to Citizen Kane and There Will Be Blood, leading some to predict that it could 'clean up' at the 2025 Academy Awards.
