The Brutalist

After fleeing post-war Europe, an ambitious architect arrives in Pennsylvania hoping to rebuild his career and create a lasting legacy. When a wealthy patron offers him a major project, he and his wife face new challenges as they try to establish a life in America.

My take

You may enjoy this ambitious, reflective period drama if you like character-driven stories about immigration, ambition, and the American Dream; Not for you if you prefer brisk pacing, simple narratives, or shorter films.
