The Brutalist


My review
Good storytelling, good directing, good acting, but it didn't really surpass good in any aspect. On the positive side the long run time never really felt like it was dragging, but then on the other hand it didn't feel like a lot of the sequences added much. Overall it lacked a strong overarching narrative, and particularly in the first hour was a bit too unstructured.
Plot overview
When an innovative modern architect flees post-war Europe, he is given the opportunity to rebuild his legacy. Set during the dawn of the modern United States (in Pennsylvania), his wife joins him, and their lives are forever changed by a demanding, wealthy patron.
