Adrien Brody’s ‘The Brutalist’ SHOCKS Streaming Charts! You Won’t Believe Why!

by

Finally, after what felt like an eternity since its September 1 premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, I can now stream “The Brutalist” on Max! After a grand theatrical release with a 15-minute intermission, a high-quality physical release from A24, and a digital version for purchase, it’s a relief to know that Brady Corbet’s American epic is finally within reach for Max subscribers. The film has not only met but exceeded the anticipation surrounding it, as “The Brutalist” has taken the top spot on the Max streaming charts. It seems plenty of people are eager to witness this critically acclaimed masterpiece!

The standout fact is that “The Brutalist” has just debuted and quickly soared to popularity on streaming platform Max, reaching the top spot among the top 10 movies as of now, outperforming several “Final Destination” films in other top positions. Given the recent launch of “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” it’s expected that “Final Destination” films would lead the pack. However, the sudden success of “The Brutalist” on Max is somewhat puzzling.

One possible explanation for the movie’s success might be that its brief theater run and lengthy running time of over three hours made it less appealing for people to watch immediately. However, the streaming platform provides viewers with the flexibility to watch movies at their convenience, making films like The Brutalist ideal for taking breaks during viewing. Since the movie had a 15-minute intermission in theaters, Corbet’s A24 film is most suitable for watching in parts at home.

‘The Brutalist’ Is a Towering Achievement Worth Streaming

Best Cinematography, Best Score, and Best Actor for Adrien Brody. It was unsuccessful in winning the other major nominations, as Sean Baker’s film, “Anora,” secured those. Despite facing numerous debates regarding AI usage, the movie has remained significant and found success.

As a film aficionado, I’d highly recommend “The Brutalist” for its gripping portrayal of Jewish Hungarian architect László Toth’s (Adrien Brody) journey to America in pursuit of a brighter future. This captivating tale unfolds over several decades as László reconnects with his spouse, Erzsébet (Felicity Jones), and embarks on an intense professional partnership with tycoon Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce). It’s an emotionally resonant exploration of the immigrant experience that’s not to be missed on Max.

It’s noteworthy that the home release edition of the film features a shorter intermission compared to its theater version. Regardless if you watch it on DVD or Max, The Brutalist‘s intermission is merely a minute-long, unlike the 15 minutes shown in cinemas. It’s intriguing to see that this three-and-a-half-hour movie has achieved such a successful streaming launch, which adds to the evidence supporting HBO’s streaming partnership with A24 being profitable.
