Here’s How To Watch 'The Brutalist'
Thanks to its 3-hour-and-35-minute runtime, its ambitious story spanning three decades, and its star-studded cast, writer-director Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is nothing short of an awards season behemoth.

He’s trying to find his way in a new land with a new set of rules.'
With The Brutalist already a major winner at the Golden Globes, expect the buzz to grow as the Oscars draw nearer. To get in on the conversation, here’s how to watch the film. (Just don’t forget to take a bathroom break during the 15-minute intermission.)
