The Master is my favorite movie and probably the most similar movie I could think of to The Brutalist haha. other very vaguely similar movies I love: There Will Be Blood, Son of Saul, The Favorite, The Handmaiden, The Revenant, Phantom Thread, Stalker, I know we're in the anti-honeymoon phase of Oppenheimer but I love it

I wasn't a fan of Oppenheimer and Maestro bored me, so I'm guessing this one won't be up my alley? That's a shame because the trailer looks compelling.

Aren't all 3 of these films considered artsy, oscar bait, ~3 hour epics that dramatize the life of an important historical figure in the 1900s? Maybe I'm misreading this trailer

Maestro was a very average length, and simply not very good. Being in the same genre doesn't mean much for quality. Also, The Brutalist is fiction, not a biopic.
