• Director Brady Corbet's three-and-a-half-hour film is an ambitious but flawed attempt to explore the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe through the lens of a prominent American architect.
• Brody's powerhouse performance as the architect is the standout, but the movie's narrative scope is too broad, leaving supporting characters underdeveloped and the overall message muddled.
