Five days ago Queer‘s Daniel Craig was handed the Dilys Powell Award at the 45th London Critics’ Circle Film Awards at London’s May Fair hotel. (Why don’t they just spell it “Mayfair”?)
There’s simply no way that Adrien Brody‘s Oscar-nominated lead performance in The Brutalist begins to even flirt with the level of top-tier expertise and emotional soul-sharing that Craig or Conclave‘s Ralph Fiennes achieve. Brody really isn’t in their league…sorry but asi es la verdad.
In his own Bob Dylan-esque way Timothee Chalamet achieves something just as phenomenal…a totally spot-on inhabiting of a guy who prevailed 60 to 65 years ago, but in a sense is no longer with us.
