The Brutalist Movie Review: He Designed the Future but Had None

By Jacinto C. Walker

How much would you sacrifice to leave behind a legacy?

In The Brutalist, architecture is more than just design, it is survival, power, and obsession. This haunting film follows L szl T th, a brilliant yet tormented architect who escapes war-torn Hungary in pursuit of the American dream. But when an elite industrialist offers him the opportunity of a lifetime, L szl finds himself trapped in a world where art, ambition, and control collide in devastating ways.

As his grandest project takes shape, so does his downfall, pushed by a ruthless system that values power over integrity. With themes of exile, betrayal, and the cost of genius, The Brutalist is a gripping cinematic experience that challenges what it truly means to create something that lasts.

This in-depth review explores the film's visual storytelling, historical depth, and the psychological unraveling of a man who dared to dream beyond his place in society.
