Where to watch “The Brutalist”

“The Brutalist” took home some of the biggest awards at Sunday night’s Golden Globes, taking home awards for best drama, best director and best actor in a drama. But it’s exceptionally difficult for people to watch the story of fictional Hungarian architect László Tóth, played by Adrien Brody, who attempts to realize his grand vision in postwar America.

Other contenders this awards season, like Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez,” which won multiple Golden Globes, have a comfortable home on streaming services that audiences can watch at their leisure. “The Brutalist,” distributed by A24 and lasting three and a half hours (including a 15-minute on-screen intermission), is only available in a few theaters.

The film won’t be released nationwide until Jan. 17 before getting a wider release on Jan. 24, a person with knowledge of A24’s distribution plans said.

Where can I watch “The Brutalist”?

If you don’t live in Los Angeles or New York, your chances of seeing the film before then are brutal.

Even in cities where theatrical releases often premiere before the rest of the country, viewing options are limited. Screenings are currently scheduled at three theaters in New York and five in Los Angeles.

You might find some luck at arthouse theaters across the country. Viewers in Doylestown, Pa., a major setting for “The Brutalist,” will soon be able to travel to Philadelphia for two screening options at arthouse theaters. Starting Thursday, major theater chains will also begin showings in Austin, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco and Washington.
