Film
The Brutalist represents a Christopher Nolan-esque swing for the big leagues
The movie is facing a vicious and sustained assault on its credentials
He imbues his Mickeys with a certain amount of pathos and heft, but he’s not a character you will care about
The most significant controversy at the ceremony was barely noticed
He was an actor without sentiment, but with enormous amounts of fierce compassion
The sound that you hear is a thousand Amazon executives rubbing their hands together in glee
It’s anyone’s guess which movie will win
There is much more to the cinematic treatment of the ‘song and dance man’ than A Complete Unknown
Unless something changes unexpectedly over the next few weeks, the Academy is likely to shun the film, or face existential ridicule
