When does 'The Brutalist' come out on streaming? Cast, date, time for Adrien Brody movie
If you've been waiting to watch director Brady Corbet's Oscar-nominated post-World War II epic "The Brutalist" on streaming without purchasing, it's time to plan that movie night because the film is dropping on Max this weekend.
Featuring Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce, "The Brutalist" chronicles the journey of Hungarian-Jewish immigrant and architect László Tóth over several decades after "he arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes," the film's synopsis says. The film and Brody's performance touch on poverty, exploitation and antisemitism.
Paste BN's Brian Truitt gave "The Brutalist" four out of four stars, saying the film "is a toxic tale of the immigrant experience and a gripping narrative of love and hope tested through vice and struggle."
The film had earned 10 Oscar nominations and was in running for the night's biggest prize – best picture – alongside "Anora," "A Complete Unknown," "Conclave," "I'm Still Here," "The Substance," "Dune: Part Two" and "Nickel Boys." While "Anora" ultimately won best picture at the 97th Academy Awards in March, "The Brutalist," grabbed three, including best actor for Brody, best original score and best cinematography.
