Brady Corbet's the brutalist is amazing, its pacing threwout its 3 hour and 21 minute runtime is amazing(maybe a bit slow near the end but it makes sense for the story)
the story about a person trying to regain himself and his soul in his art.
i think the dialogue and exhanges in conversations is really engaging.
adrien brody gives a great performances but i would be lying if i wouldn't say that this is not the best performance of last year that got nominated at the oscars.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An epochal slow-burn about artistic vision corroded by exploitation and compromise, following a haunted European architect in post-war America whose dream of building something transcendent becomes entangled with a patron's darker appetites. Three and a half hours of meticulous, operatic reckoning with the cost of ambition.
