The Brutalist, Brady Corbet’s three-and-a-half-hour drama about the treatment of a brilliant Hungarian modernist architect in the US after the second world war, has taken best picture at the London Critics’ Circle awards.
The film, which stars Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce, missed out on other prizes, however, with best director going to RaMell Ross for his much-acclaimed but little seen Colson Whitehead adaptation Nickel Boys, which also won the technical achievement prize for Jomo Fray’s cinematography.
