Caroline Siede Girl Culture (Substack) Like a piece of brutalist architecture, The Brutalist may be impenetrable, but it’s certainly impactful. Rated: B+ Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal Similar in tone to such Paul Thomas Anderson films as There Will Be Blood and The Master, Mr. Corbet’s often-staggering movie casts an unsentimental look at the price of greatness. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Everything on view is beautifully lit, composed and filmed. A brilliant work of art. Rated: 4/4 Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) It's so real and you feel so swept away. Everything about it feels epic Nov 16, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage A great movie. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Earns the ultra-long running time with great performances (especially from Brody and Pearce), a story with epic reach and scope, and lots of big ideas.
