Wondering when and where The Brutalist will be available online? Well, since the movie directed by Brady Corbet is set to hit theaters soon, you will have to wait a while until it is available on streaming platforms.

There is already buzz surrounding the movie. In The Brutalist, Brady Corbet uses architecture to tell a human story about rebuilding and surviving. Even though we don't know yet which streaming service will air it, it's already received good reviews and praise at festivals.


Where and when to watch

Right now, the audience can only see The Brutalist when upon its theatrical release on December 20, 2024, in cinemas. However, as reported by The Direct, the movie will probably be available on streaming platforms somewhere between the beginning and middle of 2025, with the estimated date of the digital release being around January 31, 2025, if we are to go by streaming debuts of past films from A24.


A story about more than buildings

The Brutalist tells the story of László Tóth (Adrien Brody), a Hungarian Jewish architect who moves to the United States to rebuild his life after World War II. The movie uses him to create parallels between rebuilding one's life and designing a building.

With this, we get a strong message that both endeavors demand planning, strength, and hope. It deals with finding one's identity and overcoming loss while chasing the American dream. Each project László works on reflects his inner struggles. He's not just dealing with a new country; he's also fighting the memories of his past. It's a story that people everywhere can relate to.


What are the critics saying?

The movie has been shown at big festivals like Venice and Toronto, and critics have loved it. Corbet's bold style of direction has been praised, and it is rumored that Adrien Brody has put in one of the best performances of his career in The Brutalist. In terms of visuals, the movie perfectly captures the brutalist style. The tone is strong, expressive, and deeply human for a story that deals with heavy historical themes. Some already consider The Brutalist a strong candidate for the Oscars. Furthermore, the architecture is a character in itself in the movie. Corbet turns concrete into poetry, and Brody brings it to life.

More than just a historical drama

The Brutalist hits the bullseye when using architecture to trace parallels with what it means to rebuild one's life and oneself. It's for people who love complex stories and want to see something more than a typical historical film. Each scene shows both the power of concrete structures and the fragile human emotions behind them.

The film makes you think about strengths and weaknesses. Like brutalist architecture, which is both tough and straightforward, the story shows that even strong-looking things can have hidden cracks, reminding us that the process is just as important as the result.

Get ready, for this movie will stay with you no matter where or when you watch it.
