THE BRUTALIST Is an Audacious Epic

If Adrien Brody wins Best Actor, hopefully he doesn't repeat what he did last time lol

[@ChiefLeef]

Im pretty sure if they're doing the actor presentations like last year that's extremely unlikely to happen lol

What did he do last time

this is exactly like The Whale. Will get a buzz about it's leading performance yet for us not attending film festivals won't see it until The Oscars comes out

[@ffffff1-mmmm]

this movie is way better than the whale lmfao

[@HitorMissHallmark]

This movie looks amazing! I love a well-crafted epic story. It's exciting to see Adrian Brody in another character-driven role - he always delivers. By the way, I had an unexpected surprise at TIFF - I bumped into you on the street! It was really cool to see you in person here in Toronto.

[@axr7149]

It'll be interesting to see whether Adrien Brody becomes the next Vivien Leigh/Helen Hayes in terms of getting only 2 nominations and winning both, with large gaps between nominations.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

Absolutely wild that Vivien Leigh only got two Oscar nominations

[@powerbeam08]

The movie actually was NOT shot on 70mm, but shot on 35mm projected onto 70mm.

[@brunonascimentodias6315]

Actually vistavison is a bit larger than regular 35 because is 35 shot sideway horinzontally. But 35mm still but has more fidelity when blowed up to 70mm

[@Saints2024]

Is the 15-minute intermission part of the runtime, or is it separate from the official runtime?

[@GareBare90]

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@nicholasjoseph8297]

So exited for this. My prediction if it gets a distributor is December 6th since that weekend is somewhat empty.

[@Rainbowxpride89]

Amy Adam's NightBitch is that weekend as well.

[@paultosinijaola1653]

I just saw it at NYFF. I love this film. One of my favorite films of the year. Everything from the cinematography, the score, costumes, production design and etc. I see it being a film that people talk about for years to come.

[@janechoy2073]

Sure, Adrien Brody (and anybody else) should be nominated for the Oscar, but - Colman Domingo.

[@twittertwice]

I am so happy for Adrien Brody is a brilliant actor and has always been!

[@thedude5787]

I seriously hope Brody wins the Oscar just because his Oscar speech from 2002 was stupidly censored

[@0vermars520]

better than his performance in Predators?

[@aztro4010]

looks like it might be Ralph Fiennes VS Adrien Brody at the Oscars.

[@Doohickeydongle]

Saw it last night. It’s simply amazing. I can’t stop thinking about it.

[@patriciascolafeleppa5542]

Sing Sing is the BEST MOVIE of the year and deserves nominations in most categories. The movie was shot on 16 mm film, in 19 days, with a very small crew. The DP, Pat Scola should be nominated for an Oscar for cinematography because the visual look, the lighting, the film choice, all created the naturalistic atmosphere to tell the story. Accompanied with Bryce Dessner's score that sells the beautiful scenes and intimate facial expressions. And kudos to the director, Greg Kwedar, who allowed dialogue to be ad-libbed at times, which created the emotional essence throughout the film that tugs at your heart. The cast deserves best ensemble because 90% of the cast are the formerly incarcerated men that participated in the RTA theater program while in Sing Sing and that authenticity shines. And what can you say about Coleman Domingo.... he deserves the Oscar this year, his performance is perfectly understated, and he allows the other men to shine because this is their story. Well Done!! Also, Clarence Maclin and Paul Raci both deserve best supporting nominations. Their performances tie the strings that pull the film to its brilliance. Best movie overall in a very long time and well worth the emotional journey.

[@Sylvia-hu1sx]

Will you review on swift horses?

[@FallenKnight2244]

Adrien Brody is freaking phenomenal in Pianist. You think his performance is better here?

[@jesse1008]

So I’m extremely excited for this film but I have to say even with all of the hate against the movie, Joaquin Phoenix in Joker 2 has a performance that can rival anyone in acting period. He did so much more in this film than even the first and he won an Oscar. Joaquin was absolutely incredible ! But again I’m very excited to see this and Adrian‘s performance 👍🏼

[@Foolish_huan]

Is Adrian Brody really better in this over the pianist ?

[@stevenkates4876]

Looks great

[@jeremyslather]

Best actor, sure. Best picture winner, i don't know tbh.

[@margo3394]

im so mad bc I have a nyff pass and have been looking forward to this movie for SO LONG and they ran out of tickets (im gonna go 5 hours early for standby tickets idc)

[@gooberswift888]

If Brody does not win a skilled acting award it’ll be the usual …he tried too hard & desperate which actors tend to do quite often like forced

[@singstreetcar5881]

So best actor is between adrien brody and daniel Craig. Coleman Domingo may not even get in for sing sing

[@alansaltz8308]

And Ralph Fiennes

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

Why do you think Domingo may not get in?

[@jennifer5512]

I think he'll probably still get it: Brody, Craig, Fiennes are the guarantees now. But I think Domingo will take one of the last two spots.

[@Ray03595]

I'm getting Oppenheimer vibes from this so far and that movie just did not work for me and it fell flat towards the end imo.

[@ken__2526]

Based on reviews, I'm gettng more of a Once Upon a Time in America meets There Will Be Blood. Some even said "Megalopolis if it was good". We'll see, though.

[@reviewer0418]

Your opinion is wrong, sorry

[@murdockfiles9406]

Speak for yourself. Oppenheimer was universally beloved. You sound like the edgy contrarians who say Godfather is overrated.

[@samtan4729]

No, the best actor award will go to Daniel Craig who turns in a stunning tour de force in Queer.

[@IHandOutLs4You]

yeah well a24 isn’t pushing them at all

[@SoulKnightKing]

So basically, a critically acclaimed Venice premiered performance was given. One to look forward to and then be dissapointed when he will eventually lose the Oscar to campaigning politics, just like how Blanchett gave the performance of the decade only to lose to Michelle Yeoh because it felt good to call her an Oscar winner. 😢

[@Theodora7]

Well there ARE a lot of people (like myself) who think Michelle Yeoh's performance was worthy of the win on its own merits, for the record. It was really close between her and Blanchett. But I agree that this film sounds a bit cold like Tár and it's true that that can be a disadvantage with the academy. But idk, because last year's winners (except Randolph) kind of go against that assumption so who knows

[@axr7149]

I saw TAR, and while nomination worthy, I frankly don't see what was so extraordinary about Blanchett's performance to be called "greatest of the decade" (this is especially also true of Emma Stone in POOR THINGS, which I found to be hammy and reeked of "look at ME!" acting). The only ones deserving of the win for 2022 IMO were Michelle Yeoh followed very closely by Michelle Williams (THE FABELMANS), while Lily Gladstone and Sandra Huller were the only deserving contenders in 2023.

[@murdockfiles9406]

You really overrate Blanchett's performance. Yes, it was an excellent performance, but hardly next level of anything like that. Michelle Yeoh was FAR better in many people's eyes

[@SoulKnightKing]

@murdockfiles9406 new york film critics, national society of film critics, los angeles film critics, London film critic, florida film critics, Chicago film crticis, Golden Globe winner, Critics Choice, BAFTA. Internationally renowned Volpi Cup. Literally Blanchett has given one kf the highest critically raved and supported performances of all time. Compared to Meryl Streep's Sophie's choice and Daniel Day Lewis There Will Be Blood. Yeoh was funny. She was never in Blanchetts league. She won bc Jamie Lee Curtis campaigned for EEAAO so well that it made the guilds inspired to vote for them. It was the shiny and cool pick not the best pick out of merit.

[@axr7149]

@@SoulKnightKing Critics can also have their own biases too. Those wins for her only indicate what they liked. There are a lot of performances that won critics that you may be surprised by (Jack Nicholson in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK and IRONWEED (both 1987) and Bob Hoskins in MONA LISA (1986) come to mind). Bob Hoskins in fact won literally every single eligible award except for 2 (National Board of Review and the Oscar), and he lost the Oscar to Paul Newman for THE COLOR OF MONEY. Conversely, Kevin Kline for A FISH CALLED WANDA did not win a single critics award and even the Golden Globes didn't nominate him, and the BAFTAs and the Oscars were the only awards bodies to nominate him (winning the latter). Marisa Tomei in MY COUSIN VINNY had a similar trajectory.

@jurney3478 Give me an example. Film, Director, Actor, Actress have been won by 4 different films as far as I can remember. It's a more ethical practice than a rule to give more exposure.
