An epic tale of tiny proportions. Corbet takes a brutally honest look at the life and career of fictional artist Lazlo Toth, and feels no obligation to play dress-up. The Brutalist cooks.

an ode to sun-kissed suburbia, summer, teenage crushes, friendship, mentorship, parenthood, childhood, photography, beer in a can, beer in a glass bottle, hot dogs, pools, parties in old movie theaters, beautiful cars, old t-shirts, annoying siblings. the 90s did, indeed, rip.

the guy behind me whispered “Cinema!” when the credits rolled. he was right.
