After last night, there's a good chance you want to watch "The Brutalist." But after seeing its 215-minute runtime (with a 15-minute intermission included), you might prefer to watch it from the comfort of your own home.

How to watch ‘The Brutalist’ in the U.S.

Currently, the only way to watch “The Brutalist” at home in the U.S. is by purchasing or renting it through PVOD services like Amazon and Apple TV.

However, if you don’t mind waiting a little longer, we do know which streaming service "The Brutalist" will be released on. As an A24 movie (in the U.S.), it will eventually arrive on Max.

Max Basic with ads: $9.99 at Max - United States

Get Max Basic with ads for $9.99 a month or $99 a year. This gives you almost everything Max has to offer, including HBO shows, Max originals, A24 movies and a deep library of Warner Bros. Discovery movies and shows. The only thing you don't get is B/R Sports, so if you want live sports, you'll want to opt for the $16.99 a month Standard plan.

At present, a Max release date for "The Brutalist" has yet to be announced.

How to watch ‘The Brutalist’ in the U.K.

“The Brutalist” is also available for rental or purchase in the U.K. on several digital platforms including Amazon and Apple TV. At present, it's not available on any U.K. streaming services.

Despite being an A24 film in the U.S., "The Brutalist" was distributed by Focus Features in the U.K., meaning that this period piece might be destined for Peacock rather than Max. We'll update this section once we hear something official.
