Now in Theaters:
The Brutalist (***) Adrien Brody turns in a terrific performance as a post WWII refugee, attempting to forge a path as an architect, whose life is changed when he crosses paths with a mysterious and wealthy client (Guy Pierce). The film is worth noting as being the first to be shot in the VistaVision format since 1961 and, as such, is beautiful to behold from a technical standpoint. It’s the sort of film that is likely to be more appreciated on the largest screen possible.
