The Brutalist - Movie Review | Venice Film Festival 2024 | A HUGE Potential Awards Contender

[@jamielee7943]

Would absolutely love to see Guy Pearce finally get his due at the Oscar’s. The man is a fantastic actor. Can’t wait to see The Brutalist even more now thanks to your encouraging review Luke.

[@themtgdude486]

Predators and The Pianist are awesome.

[@johnnolan5579]

It's funny how actors like Brody who seem like they will never get another Oscar chance can truly make a startling comeback.

[@LukeHearfield]

@@johnnolan5579 yeah I defo didnt see it coming. He’s not had a single nom since he won in 2003 and now he could potentially win again 21 years later hahaha wild!

[@singstreetcar5881]

@@johnnolan5579 he has been doing great work on tv

[@dasmysteryman12]

I know many people are making this comparison already, but I'm more excited for The Brutalist than Megalopolis.

[@amparonarbona5142]

Brody is a wonderful actor. I’m so glad he’s having a kind of comeback😊

[@nathanmitchell958]

Lead actor is gearing up to be the craziest race this year I’m imagining. Between Domingo, Craig, Fiennes and Phoenix being big players at the start and then Chalamet surprise entering, then Stan against all odds being an actual contender and now Brody giving an all timer, I’m so curious who all makes it in the five and who has the narrative and stronger film to win it. I honestly don’t have a predicted winner personally but I’m certainly super invested in this race. I’ve so far only seen Domingo in Sing Sing who’s fantastic in it but I’m excited to see all the competition within the coming months.

Mate I’ve just found you. You got something here. I trust you. You are now up there with The Oscar Bros and Film Drunk. Keep it up. Will keep watching.

[@persieprince9345]

Guy Pearce is really a great actor highly underutilized talent

[@JustusAnkka]

Guy Pearce is one of my favorite actors working (and I honestly think, he's one of our best). What a charismatic chameleon, he's like if if you cross Sam Rockwell with Keanu Reeves. 😂 I'd love for him to get his first Oscar-nomination. PS: One Letterboxd-review for this simply said "There Will Be Blood as done by Werner Herzog". S-O-L-D. 😮😂

[@persieprince9345]

I really enjoy watching his work with the likes of ed Harris Micheal shanon sam Rockwell billy bob Thornton and others

[@simplyrowen]

I have watched you on and off over some time, but had never left a comment. But I've got to say: I LOVE YOU for doing this Venice series of reviews!!! 🙏🏼 I moved from the States to Guatemala City recently, and people such as yourself are helping me keep in touch with the new films and therefore the Oscars, when the time comes. Please do this every year 🙏🏼

[@singstreetcar5881]

Pay attention to felicity Jones. The academy loves her. She may sneak in. She may even win best supporting actress

[@LukeHearfield]

@@singstreetcar5881 she’s defo got a shot at the nom. Not sure about Winnie yet but tbf I think supporting actress may be the most open of the acting categories. Unless Gaga crushes it as Harley Quinn and campaigns supporting x

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

Guy Pearce has never had an Oscar nomination?!?!?! Goddamn... I never realized that.

[@TheRobpralgo]

Great coverage as usual! Looking forward to seeing it.

[@LukeHearfield]

@@TheRobpralgo awwwe thank you man. Besides The Brutalist are there any other titles from Venice you’re keen to see? X

[@TheGreatestVoice1958]

The fact Guy Pearce has never been nominated is a travesty. He's been brilliant for decades. L.A Confidential and Memento are his biggest snubs.

[@axr7149]

I get massive ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA/LAWRENE OF ARABIA/GONE WITH THE WIND/BEN-HUR vibes not only in terms of runtime, but also in terms of epic scope. I think this will get a few nominations regardless of the final outcome.

[@nadinepineault9407]

I'm exited for this one!

[@LukeHearfield]

@@nadinepineault9407 as you should 😁 it truly is something extraordinary. I kinda wanna watch it again already x

[@singstreetcar5881]

I'm shocked by the acclaim this movie is getting. The rave reviews are so strong. This film will dominate the tech categories, sorry dune 2 Editing Cinematography Production design Sound

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

I think the brutalist could win The golden lion I think is only competition comes from Joker 2 or queer

[@Reeemonster2000]

How is joker 2 competition lol

[@MrGoat-cd8lt]

@@Reeemonster2000the first one won the golden lion and this one is much more grand and stylistic

[@Reeemonster2000]

@@MrGoat-cd8lt looks like that isn’t in the cards this time given the audience reaction

[@MrGoat-cd8lt]

@@Reeemonster2000 yeah, you’re right. I was just saying at the time it seemed like it could be a competitor

[@Reeemonster2000]

@@MrGoat-cd8lt I was kinda sad about the queer reaction as well :(

Is going full throttle to Oscars ,Brody will have another Oscar 🍾

[@Lord_Winston]

very relevant for everyone specially to British audience

[@Sharpe1502]

I was already excited about this movie, but now I need this movie to hurry up and open in wide release.

[@ItsRcan]

Fired up for this one

[@mr29]

So excited for this.

[@sidbakshi]

Hey! you covering any of the French In Competition films ? (The Quiet Son, His Three Friends)

[@fnandaabreu]

Will you watch "I'm Still Here"?

[@CynicalBob]

Any idea when it will come out?

[@jasonhughes2305]

I want to like this, but what worries me is that I can't stand Brutalist architecture!

[@nelg54]

I def want to watch this but it sounds like it will be a challenge

[@tennisCharlzz]

Do you remember Brady Corbett in Mysterious Skin?

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

I know him from 13

[@zsuzsannamakai9971]

Adrian Brody's mom is Hungarian. Accent gonna be real...

[@itsybitsy999]

I think you included a bit too much information here. I didn't know about the heroin use from other reviews.

[@Bossdup]

If this doesn’t run in 70mm at the vista then it’s dreck

[@TheRustyLM]

4:00 Yes! Never forget the White Privilege!

[@GareBare90]

😮

[@marrmart7690]

Adrian brody He makes exactly same supject in the pianist... and he took oscar for it. Why he makes same subject in new film about jewish broblems. He reapet his self again. If they change the actor maybe we watch new thing in film Thank you for first look♥♥❤❤

[@danielaou]

But it’s about different stories. In the pianist it was about surviving and in the Brutlaist it’s about trauma and coming to America. The fact that he plays in both a holocaust survivor doesn’t mean his performance is going to be the same

[@alisulaibi6105]

I like your reviews, but man that movie sound boring as hell 😂 I used to care about the OSCARS , but not anymore… Hollywood is dying out from repeating itself, everything it seems played out already… the same themes over and over again… Holocaust… the American dream 🤪 it’s dray season already

[@theprime6439]

Shush you mug

[@HarryFrisch-t4y]

Everything everywhere won best picture last year you cannot be saying this with a straight face
