FlixChatter Review: THE BRUTALIST (2024) – Adrien Brody is intense and heartbreaking in Brady Corbet’s sobering cautionary tale of the elusive American Dream
2024 has been a terrific year for films in that it’s introduced me to quite a few new filmmakers whose work I’ve seen for the first time, but certainly wouldn’t be the last. Brady Corbet is one of them, who got his start as an actor in the early 2000s. The title refers to Brutalist …

It ends up being quite a somber Sunday. My hubby and I went to brunch and when I came home and checked Twitter, I was shocked to see tweets that actor Anton Yelchin had died! I couldn't believe it. He was [was!! I'm not even prepared to refer to him in past tense] only 27 years old and …
