A24ās critically acclaimed period drama The Brutalist made nearly as many headlines for its marathon runtime as it did for its accolades. The three-and-a-half-hour film, which was directed by Brady Corbet, won the Best Actor trophy for Adrien Brody and picked up nods for Best Score and Best Cinematography at the 97th Academy Awards. It also won the Golden Globe for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Brody.
The film is available to buy from services like Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, including in 4K UHD. While many movies are released on VOD to rent or purchase, The Brutalist is only available to buy on digital as of this writing.

It doesnāt have a streaming date, but The Brutalist will eventually land on Max due to the multiyear agreement between Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns Max, and A24, which distributed the film. Notably, The Brutalist was produced on a slim $9.6 million budget, despite its substantial runtime, considerable star-power, and the fact that it was shot on film.
In addition to the filmās VOD release, A24 is releasing The Brutalist on Blu-ray, including a 4K UHD release. The disc is expected to arrive on March 25.

The historical epic stars Adrien Brody as Laszlo Toth, a fictitious Jewish Hungarian architect and Holocaust survivor who immigrates to Pennsylvania. Guy Pearceās Harrison Lee Van Buren, a wealthy industrialist, enlists him to build a massive, modern church on the outskirts of his property, leading Toth to grapple with his desire to create against his qualms about building a church.
Felicity Jones plays Brodyās wife, ErzsĆ©bet and Joe Alwyn plays Pearceās brutish son. The film reflects on themes of artistic integrity and the immigrant experience. Notably, this marks Brodyās second Best Actor Oscars trophy for playing a Holocaust survivor after 2002ās The Pianist.
Rolling Stone called the film a ānew great American masterpiece,ā with critic David Fear singling out Brodyās performance, writing, āYou can trace bits of the lives and careers of Louis Kahn and Marcel Breur in LĆ”zslĆ³ TĆ³thās DNA, though Brody ā who hasnāt done work of this depth and conveyed such emotional devastation since The Pianist ā is adding his own colors and shades to this broken manās psychological makeup. Itās one of those performances that makes you rethink an actorās entire filmography.ā
