Fans of cinema have reason to celebrate as "The Brutalist," a highly acclaimed film directed by Brady Corbet, is now available for digital purchase. This gripping drama, which stars Academy Award winner Adrien Brody, tells the poignant story of László Tóth, a Hungarian-born Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor. The film explores Tóth’s journey as he strives to achieve the American Dream, aided by a wealthy industrialist played by Guy Pearce.
Released in theaters earlier this year, "The Brutalist" has garnered significant attention, winning the Golden Globe for Best Picture, Drama, and is considered a strong contender for the upcoming 2025 Academy Awards. The film’s narrative is inspired by the real-life experiences of its protagonist, making it both a personal and historical exploration.
As of February 18, viewers can purchase "The Brutalist" digitally on platforms including Amazon Prime, Vudu, and Apple TV, with prices starting around $19.99. Currently, the film is not available for rental, but it is expected to eventually stream on HBO Max, thanks to a recent distribution deal between A24, the film’s distributor, and Warner Bros. Discovery. This partnership ensures that A24’s films will stream on Max following their digital release.
While a specific streaming date for "The Brutalist" on Max has not been announced, industry analysts speculate it could be available by late spring 2025, following a pattern seen with other A24 releases. This timeline would align with the film’s awards season momentum, potentially boosting its visibility during a critical time for Oscar contenders.
