But power and legacy come at a heavy cost... With Oscar and Golden Globe-winner Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones (in an Oscar-nominated performance), Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy.

"It is so specific, lived-in and vibrant that you want to spend more time in this world even when it's harrowing." (Filmweek NPR)

"Brady Corbet’s seismic drama reaches for the sky as it surveys the soul of a man and a nation. There will be Oscars." (Empire Magazine)

"The magisterial (yet also often funny) performances from virtually every member of the cast... and the sheer painterly beauty of its compositions make this one of the few movies this year I almost immediately went back to see for a second time." (Slate)

"A harrowing 215-minute epic of perseverance, trauma, exploitation, and anti-Semitism, it’s a bracing examination of the scars of war, the difficulty of recovery, and the genius, madness, and self-destruction begat by calamity. " (The Daily Beast)

"Brady Corbet’s engulfing masterpiece about an immigrant architect (an Oscarbound Adrien Brody) is the best movie of the year, but it’s also way more than that— an unsentimental; uncompromising thunderbolt of pure cinema that Corbet has built to last." (ABC News)
