The scene in which Will Oldham’s character delivers a long-winded monologue about how nothing lasts forever may be the worst scene in cinema’s history. My personal idea of hell is being forced to watch that on a loop with my eyes pried open, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE-style. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

I ire THE BRUTALIST like I ire any “big swing” American art film although I also can’t help but feel it’s being wildly overrated by critics who seem overly grateful just that it exists. There’s something about the way it continually insists on its own importance that rubs me the wrong way — especially because I don’t think it has much to say to back up its posturing (aside from being a simplistic anti-capitalist allegory).
The cinematography is very good…
