MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Ayala Malls Cinemas proudly presents The Brutalist, an acclaimed film that has taken the international stage by storm. Exclusively screening in the Philippines starting March 5, this visually arresting film is a must-watch for cinephiles and awards season aficionados alike.
Racking up multiple accolades, The Brutalist is a serious contender at the 2025 Academy Awards, earning nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor. It has already claimed prestigious wins, including Best Picture at the Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globes, while Adrien Brody’s riveting performance as László Toth has earned him Best Actor honors from the BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice, and Golden Globes.
The Brutalist unravels the journey of Hungarian architect László Toth (Adrien Brody) as he flees war-torn Europe to chase the American dream. When his avant-garde vision captivates wealthy industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), Toth is thrust into a world where artistic ambition meets staggering sacrifice. The film’s hauntingly beautiful storytelling, bolstered by stunning cinematography from Lol Crawley and immersive design by Judy Becker, makes The Brutalist a mesmerizing watch.
Critics have hailed the film as a cinematic triumph. The Guardian describes it as “an electrifying piece of work… dizzying in its monumental vastness,” while The Hollywood Reporter praises Brody’s performance as “his best in years—imbued with gravitas and a quiet, gnawing pain.”
