Just came here to say that One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, and It Was Just an Accident are all great examples of the classic 70s Hollywood feel in a movie from last year and I’m so glad that they exist.

The Brutalist falls into a line of films I call “reliably great”. Meaning, yes, they are THAT good! But what is good about them is so self-evident that it hardly bears discussing in-depth beyond a certain point. Which is NOT at all a detriment to the film; if anything it’s better
