We met Bill, Emily, and Treat at the movies a little before noon today. We were there to see The Brutalist and knock ten Academy Award nominations off our list. The film was long: three hours and 35 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission, and it depicted a lot of hardship, cruelty, and some resilience, too.
The five of us blinked in the sunlight as we exited the theater, unsure what to make of it. We all agreed the acting was good, but we stood in a tight circle on the sidewalk, processing for several minutes, sharing observations and questions. Then we agreed to meet again next weekend for another movie.
Oscar season is here!
